# Compensation

Coordinape allows you to decentralize payroll. Here's how:

First, members allocate "[GIVE](/get-started/give.md)" tokens to each other during an [Epoch](/get-started/epochs.md). These tokens represent a portion of the budget set for the team.

Then, after allocation, the Circle Admin exports a CSV and uses their preferred payment method to pay Circle members. If you have a CoVault in your organization, the Circle Admin submits payment for the team to claim. 

{% content-ref url="/pages/gWN1v8kpqkgV2GC09KlO" %}
[Paying Your Team](/get-started/compensation/paying-your-team.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

![CSV Output](/files/PYIUUANIewJVerVQUz5C)

The compensation your Circle will distribute can vary from $0 to millions. The only limit is your treasury!
