What's the difference between a paystub and a pay template?

In Zenefits Payroll, an employee's pay template determines the recurring earnings, deductions, and contributions that they'll have in each pay run. Changes made to a pay template are effective in the next run, and will show up in all future runs.

An employee's paystub lists the details for earnings, deductions, and contributions in a single run. Changes made to an employee's paystub will override their pay template and show up once, in the next run. After that, the employee's earnings, deductions and contributions will revert to the values in the pay template.
