Situation Analysis
A computer is now a must-have for any business or company as it significantly contributes to
making work more progressive and productive. Any company or small business must have a
computer because it helps with data organization, storage, and manipulation. Computer programs
can assist a company in growing and remaining competitive in the business world. Companies
nowadays use computer literacy to compete in the market. The payroll system enables business
activities and data processing implementation to be inextricably linked indefinitely. The payroll
division would be able to keep records of employees' personnel data, pay slips, allowances, and
so on using this payroll data.
Payroll is a form of compensation done by the company to reward its employees for their work.
It must be given at a set period or a given date and is usually done by the human resources office
since they hold the record of attendance and the employee's overtime service. Payroll can be
done manually by hiring professionals to do the accounting by hand or by automating it through
computer programs.
Payroll Management System is a type of management system that automatically maintains and
organizes employee records such as DTR and overtime service. Keeping employee records is one
of the most complex and time-consuming aspects of running a business. Most of the time,
manual payroll can process inaccurate information, misclassify employees, and make late
payments, among other things. The system can keep track of employee data such as pay,
allowances, deductions, and loan management or cash advances for employees.
