Payrolls
A payroll is a treasury-specific funding mechanism that can stream funds into a claiming bucket at a customizable rate. Funds can be added to a payroll by anyone, and treasuries can have multiple payrolls running simultaneously. Claims from a payroll can be targeted to an individual recipient or a specific group of users.
All treasuries are granted the worker payroll by default, which can be used to pay workers for performing valuable platform optimization. Think of the worker payroll as a community fund to pay for treasury-wide housekeeping.
Any user can submit funds to any payroll. To do so, simply call the addfunds() action on the telos.decide contract.

A treasury manager can adjust the pay rate and pay periods for any payroll within their treasury. Fine tuning these settings allows payrolls to predictably incentivize labor for the given purpose of the payroll.
