# Managing Payroll Tasks 

Payroll Tasks in XandaPay allow users to define specific actions or reminders that need to be completed for a particular payroll.

To access Payroll Tasks:

1.  Navigate to the **Payroll** module in the left menu.
2.  Click on **Tasks** under the Payroll section.
3.  The Payroll Tasks page will display a list of existing tasks.
