Wrong sytax. It should be

LblTotalpayroll.Text = "Payroll Totals:" & vbNewLine & _
                "Management:" & dbManagementPayroll.ToString & vbNewLine & _
                "sale:" & dbSalePayroll.ToString & vbNewLine & _
                "processing:" & dbprocessingpayroll.ToString & vbNewLine & _
                "Phone:" & dbphonepayroll.ToString & vbNewLine

By the way, if the line of code is unambiguously not complete (for example, if it ends with "&") then you can omit the ending underscore. Your code would then be

LblTotalpayroll.Text = "Payroll Totals:" & vbNewLine &
            "Management:" & dbManagementPayroll.ToString & vbNewLine &
            "sale:" & dbSalePayroll.ToString & vbNewLine &
            "processing:" & dbprocessingpayroll.ToString & vbNewLine &
            "Phone:" & dbphonepayroll.ToString & vbNewLine
