You have to specify during the creation of User Store that AspNetRole is used instead of IdentityRole. You can achieve this by using the UserStore class with 6 type parameters:

new UserStore(new PayrollDBEntities());

This indicates changes at User Manager creation as well. Here is a simplified example about the creation of needed instances:

public class AspNetUser : IdentityUser { /*customization*/ }

public class AspNetRole : IdentityRole { /*customization*/ }

public class PayrollDBEntities : IdentityDbContext //or : IdentityDbContext  
{
}

public class Factory 
{
    public IdentityDbContext DbContext 
    { 
        get 
        {
            return new PayrollDBEntities();
        } 
    }

    public UserStore UserStore
    {
        get 
        {                
            return new UserStore(DbContext);
        }
    }

    public UserManager UserManager
    { 
        get 
        {
            return new UserManager(UserStore);
        } 
    }

    public RoleStore RoleStore 
    {
        get 
        {
            return new RoleStore(DbContext);
        }
    }

    public RoleManager RoleManager 
    {
        get 
        {
            return new RoleManager(RoleStore);
        }
    }
}
