# Token Payroll

The Token Payroll feature on Team Finance allows projects to automate recurring token distributions to teams, advisors, contractors and service providers. Instead of manually sending tokens each period, Payroll enables you to schedule and execute payments in a streamlined, transparent, and on-chain manner.

### Overview

Token Payroll is designed for Web3 teams that need to manage ongoing payments in tokens rather than one-off distributions.

With Payroll, you can:

* Create recurring payment schedules
* Pay multiple recipients in a single transaction
* Automate token distributions over time
* Reduce manual operational overhead
* Maintain transparency through on-chain execution

### Key Benefits

**1. Automation**\
Set up payroll schedules once and execute payments consistently without repetitive manual transfers.

**2. Efficiency**\
Distribute tokens to multiple wallets in a single batch transaction.

**3. Transparency**\
All payroll actions are executed on-chain and verifiable.

**4. Flexibility**\
Supports a wide range of use cases including team compensation, contractor payments, and ecosystem incentives.

### Use Cases
