INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY.
Prompt payment of Staff salaries by Management of and Organization boosts the morale of staffs and enhances productivity. Manual preparation of staff’s salaries is often associated with lots of problems, which often time disrupt the morale of workers. The problem usually ranges from arithmetic errors in computation, delay in payment, underpayment or overpayment and so on. In this project work, an automated system will be developed which shall eliminate all the problems associated with the manual process.
The most common method of keeping financial records of a company was manually. A bookkeeper kept the journals, the accounts receivable, the accounts payable, payroll and the ledgers in his best possible penmanship. In later Years, an accounting machine, which was capable of performing normal bookkeeping functions such as tabulating in vertical columns, performing arithmetic functions and typing horizontal rows, was used.
An example of payroll software is “QUICKBOOKS”. This Software allows the employer to enter the wages into the system after he has manually calculated them. The payroll and Check printing are processed through the system. The Employer has access to payroll reports that he/she can print and use to double check against what he/she entered before printing. This allows the Employer to correct any detectable errors beforehand. Computerized Payroll Systems allow you to process your entire normal payroll task via a computerized system, rather than by hand.
Many different Vendors offer Computerized Payroll System. Like different computer programs, they largely offer the same type of features with slightly different interfaces. There is more to Payroll than just handing out cash or checks. However, after gathering data on what the employees did and comparing it to their salaries, some simple payday mathematics will let the employer hand out the money.
1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM.
After research and interview had made with the admin of HOUDEGBE NORTH AMERICAN UNIVERSITY, I concluded that a “Mobile Payroll System” should be developed. This is because from the expectation of HOUDEGBE NORTH AMERICAN UNIVERSITY, the admin wants the calculation of the commission and salary become easier in their payroll calculation activity and can produce a complete report.
The problems that faced by the admin and staffs of HOUDEGBE NORTH AMERICAN UNIVERSITY is waste a lot of time in computing their payroll. They don’t need to waste a lot of time in calculating their Salaries, Pension, tax and pulling out records of a staff’s finances. The admin wastes a lot of time in calculating one by one manually.
The motivation of this project is to let the admin to calculate the target Commission rate easily for each employee. With this project, the admin also can count the total salary of each employee easily and also can produce the salary slip and a whole year report in details. With this, it will save a lot of time and also easy the work of admin in payroll calculation activity.
