# Payment

Any time you want pay a worker on your team, you will create a `Payment`.
Payments are always instructed using net amounts (after any taxes were deducted).

For example, a `Payroll Item` with gross earnings of 1,480 USD may result in a `Payment` of 1,100.23 USD.
This is sometimes referred to as the ‘check amount’.

Once a `Payment` is created, Plane will not take any deductions from it. It will be sent in full to the recipient
in the currency of their choice.
