Finance, concerning the availability of funds for purchase of new equipmentand the
acceptability of inventory levels.
The Research and Development (R&D) department in XLNZ Business Solutions is concerned
with developing new products or processes and improving existing products/processes. R&D
activities must be closely coordinated with the organisation’s marketing activities to ensure that
the organisation is providing exactly what its customers want in the most efficient, effective and
economical way.

3.4 PURCHASE DEPARTMENT
The Purchasing department is concerned with acquiring goods and services for use by XLNZ
Business Solutions. These will include, for example, raw materials and components for
manufacturing and also production equipment. The responsibilities of this function usually extend
to buying goods and services for the entire organisation, including, for example, office
equipment, furniture, computer equipment and stationery. In buying goods and services,
purchasing managers must take into account a number of factors – collectively referred to as
Quantity - Buying in large quantities can attract price discounts and prevent inventory running
out. On the other hand, there are substantial costs involved in carrying a high level of inventory.
Quality - There will usually be a trade-off between price and quality in acquiring goods and
services. Consequently, Production, R&D and Marketing Functions will need to be consulted to
determine an acceptable level of quality which will depend on how important quality is as an
Price - Other things being equal, the purchasing manager will look for the best price deal when

in conjunction with quality and supplier reliability, in order to achieve best value, rather than
Delivery - The time between placing an order and receiving the goods or services, the lead
time, can be critical for production planning and scheduling and also has implications for
inventory control. Suppliers must therefore be evaluated in terms of their reliability and

6.1 INTRODUCTION
Payroll is the procedure by which employers reimburse the employee for the amount of work
that he or she has done. Though, payroll seems like everyday duty, there are many complicated
aspects including, taxes and maintaining accuracy that needs to be performed with utmost
caution. Software on the payroll system helps manage the long list of data with exactness and
perform the calculation without minimum error.
A specialised course in payroll systems is important for those who are entrusted with managing
the intricate processing systems. The course provides detailed information about the system and
how to deal with the various unique situations that occur within the payroll system. This course
will allow the learners to generate reports on payroll functions that are necessary to undertake
numerous supervisory and management tasks. Learners are also exposed to leave accrual and
hiring and separation policies.
The course aims to provide primary knowledge and understanding of processes involving basic
calculations and preparation of a payroll. Learners will also acquire knowledge about payroll
processes, procedures and the skills required in undertaking routine as well as some special tasks.
The course will also help the learner identify employees’ pay differentiation and entitlements. It
will enable them to make calculations in relation to gross and net pay. They will also be able to
comprehend the necessity of accuracy and security while performing the jobs related to payroll.
This course will give the learners an opportunity to produce an academic validation for their
skills and knowledge in order to display their abilities to the employers and secure a position. It
will empower the takers with all the necessary know-how to be an efficient worker in the area.
27
All this work will be depended on the individual’s working speed. All the employees have to
synchronize the paperwork manually by communicating with each other.
This paperwork takes a lot of time and requires more space to store safely and all the additional
resources required to ensure safety. In this system, there is no surety or reliability as humans are
likely to make an error.
Everything is done on paper and these are highly prone to damages and require agood amount
of security and space to store.
Required Buying of goods more frequent as compared to the online system. Likely to have an
error.
Lack of storage space for the documents.
If these files are less in number then it is not that big problem but if the number increases then
searching for a particular document can give a personal nightmare as these are more prone to
damages and even it gets the searching job done the time required to do the job is not ideal at
all.
Editing is another level of problem in those paper documents the only option is to make new
documents if any correction needs to be made that is not good at all for the environmental
credentials.
Even after all the digitization of the industry, there will always be a requirement of an eligible
employee for the correct management of events. These are the individual who works part-time
or full-time by the contract of employment with the administration of the company, which could
28
be written or oral.
These are the different fragments of the company which are divided as the department. Each
department has assigned the id and name to avoid any kind of confusion.
Every department has an individual head who could be in the administration. Every department
works individually and provides the performance accordingly. Each department will have a
manager who will manage the department.
It could be different for the employees working in different departments or designation and can
be paid in the different period it may be weekly, hourly and monthly or maybe hired for some
special work rather than on a periodic basis.
For the business company, it could be the cost of acquiring and retaining human resources for
running the company’s business operations. In accounting, salaries are recorded in payroll
accounts these are just the accounts that are designated by the company where salary will be
credited after the decided period.
An entity-relationship diagram (ERD) represents the relationships among entity sets stored in a
database. An entity in this context is a component of data. We can say that ER diagrams illustrate
the logical structure of databases. At first, peek an entity-relationship diagram that looks similar
to a flowchart. It is the different symbols, and the meanings of those symbols, that make it
unique.

Attributes are the properties of entities. Attributes are represented by means of ellipses. Every
ellipse represents one attribute and is directly connected to its entity (rectangle). In the Payroll
management system, we take the following entity shown in the figure below:
Administration:
This entity will consist of details of the people working in the administration. It is the head of all
other entities if we create a flow chart of the system. The people working in the administration
are the staff persons that’s why they will be identified by the staff id and not the employee is.

tax from employee earnings; at the end of the year, they must report all wages, tips and other
compensation paid. Companies also must withhold Social Security and Medicare contributions
from employees' wages and pay a matching amount.
In-House
Some smaller businesses conduct their payroll using a manual system. While inexpensive, this
method may increase the chances of errors and could prove time-consuming for companies with
more than a few employees. With a computerized system, the employer can utilize payroll
software to process its payroll on-site. Some larger companies can afford the computer systems
and staff to process payroll on their own. Because they spread their costs over a large workforce,
they experience lower per-check expenses than smaller firms.
Outsourced
Outsourcing takes place when a business hires a third-party payroll service provider to process
its payroll. Such firms typically can handle all aspects of the payroll cycle as well as other
reporting services. With an external system, the employer sends payroll data to a service provider
to process payments for the upcoming payday. This data includes hours worked as well as
benefits, taxes and withholding information. Online payroll service providers offer companies
the ability to manage employee payroll accounts and create reports online. However, a
company that outsources its payroll to a third-party provider always should review its output for
errors to avoid punishment by regulatory agencies should a mistake occur.
Hybrid
Some businesses utilize a hybrid method that takes advantage of elements from both in-house and
outsourced payroll systems. This allows employers to split the payroll functions between
themselves and the vendor, keeping outsourcing costs lower and allowing for more internal
control over payroll data. Typically businesses using the hybrid method calculate pay and
distribute paychecks themselves while having the third-party payroll service handle tax filings,
direct deposits and the actual printing of the checks.
Processing payroll is a vital part of any business' operations, small or large. If employees do not
31
get paid correctly or on time, motivation and productivity typically suffer; in addition, employers
may be liable for unfair payment practices. Some employers prefer to do payroll
themselves to minimize errors, but this can take a lot of time and put them at risk for
penalties if mistakes are made when paying payroll taxes. Thus, employers should consider how
much, if any, of their payroll duties to entrust to an outside agency.
Co-Sourcing
Co-sourcing allows employers to retain control over payroll without taking on the responsibility
for correctly doing payroll. Employers can outsource some portions of payroll, such as
maintaining the computer system or paying payroll taxes, and perform the rest in-house so that
they can integrate human resources data as needed to effectively run their businesses.
Considerations
The payroll management solution that works best for a particular company depends individual
needs. Small businesses should outsource the tax responsibilities even if they perform the rest of
32
payroll themselves, as the penalties levied by the IRS for non-compliance can be hefty, which
small businesses may not be able to afford. Companies that are particularly concerned about data
theft or other types of theft related to payroll will want to insource as much of their payroll as
possible so that they can maintain control over their records.
Increase revenue
If you’re just beginning to consider whether or not you need software for payroll management,
then you probably have a pretty good idea of what processing payroll looks like. But you might
not have a complete understanding of what exactly the software is or what it does. So, what is
payroll management
33
10. Agreements regarding the voluntary withholding of extra cash
11. Dates and payments to employees for non-business services
12. Statements of tips received by employees
13. Requests for different computation of withholding taxes
Payroll for a small firm is a simple task with a good one-write system. Any office supply store
can show you samples of one-write systems, which most accountants recommend because they
reduce errors and save time in making payroll entries.
Payroll management can be quite a challenge for the new business owner. There are many
federal and state laws regulating what you have to track related to payroll. Failure to do so could
result in heavy fines--or worse.
Many business owners use outside payroll services. These companies guarantee compliance with
all the applicable laws. This keeps the business owner out of trouble with the law and saves time
that can be devoted to something else in the business. If you choose to do your own payroll, it's
recommended that you purchase an automated payroll system. Even if the rest of your books are
done manually, an automated payroll system will save you time and help considerably with
compliance.

Easily Accessible Shifts and Attendance:
Maintain records of employees working in all shifts along with their walk-in and walk-out
timings under one platform. Easily track hour-based employee attendance records with our
biometric attendance and payroll management system for accurate time tracking. Reduce the
workload of your HR team by upgrading from tedious paperwork to our employee-friendly
software. The system allows your team members to log-in at any time of the day and check their
attendance.
Eliminate errors by automatically updating employee salaries, delivering a first-in- class user
experience, and significantly reduce payment processing time. Use the HR payroll management
software to manage tax deductions and workercompensations while making sure your employees
get paid on time, every time.
35
6.2 OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
The proposed system is intended to provide a user-friendly system that will
compute accurately the salary of the local government employees.
36
6.3 FINDINGS
Payroll Management System has been developed for organization, keeping in view the
requirements of employees to prepare salary. The objective of the project was to computerize the
payroll system which was earlier being handle manually every precaution has been taken at each
process involved in the complex of the salary preparation. By computerization it implies all the
process handling in the entirely being done by computer.
All the record necessary for the processes involved in the salary calculation are stored in a
computer based record keeping system using a back-end tool. All the process handling is done at
the front-end by using a front-end. The project provides sample facilities to its users. The most
important of the facilities are the report generation and printing which provides user with the
hard copies of the data also. . Payroll seems simple at its core, but becomes complicated because
of the various deductions that come into play.
Employers must withhold taxes from each paycheck and make sure accurate funds are paid to the
correct government agency. Employers may also be responsible for deducting and paying
premiums for insurance and depositing funds into retirement accounts or to selected charities.
Payroll processing duties can create a huge burden and unwanted stress for small business
owners and can be overwhelming for large businesses. Amissed deadline or incorrect filing of
taxes can result in fines or jail time. To avoid these issues, small, middle-sized, and large
businesses can all benefit from using payroll systems
People working from home are making up a greater percentage of the workforce. Many payroll
professionals work on location mainly because that's where their payroll software is housed.
With new technology advances, payroll data entry can be done from anywhere, so why not from
home? To do this, all you need is an Internet connection and a Web browser. Using a Web-based
payroll solution has many advantages. By working with a Web browser, users don't have to
worry about loading software onto their computers. Instead, a Web server delivers logic and data
required to process payroll to you.
37
Payroll professionals can work at home or spread out the processing to multiple locations. That
means offices in Denver, Dallas, and Seattle can all process their own payroll, helping to
eliminate check distribution problems, correction of last- minute time entries and setup issues.
Because the Web-server is managed centrally by the IT staff -- either a home office if using an
in-house solution or by the vendor if using an out sourced solution-- IT resources are usually
reduced. There are no client computers to update or fix, and because the payroll system runs on a
Web server, only the server needs to be updated and maintained.
6.4 SUGGESTIONS
Payroll has different aspects, so your system should be diverse enough to ensure proper payment
to your employees and regulatory compliance.
Payroll and HR
If you provide your employees with company-sponsored benefits such as pretax health
insurance, flexible spending accounts and retirement plans, you must establish a plan document,
keep track of open enrollment dates and maintain ongoing compliance with the government. As
an employer, you must also monitor your employees’ skills, wages, time, attendance and
benefit days such as vacation and sick days, plus perform worker’s compensation and new-
hire reporting. To reduce administration time and costs, use an integrated payroll, human
resources and employee benefits system that enables these options.

If you have only a handful of employees, you many implement a manual system, which requires
that you process your entire payroll by hand. This system is inexpensive to establish; all you
need are basic stationery, including bank checks, as this system does not come with direct
deposit. You must calculate wages and deductions manually and perform manual accounting and
record-keeping. This system is prone to errors, so use it only if your payroll is small.
Payroll Service
If you do not want to handle payroll tasks, you may outsource your payroll duties to a payroll
service provider. These companies provide a full range of services that include payroll
processing and employee benefits and payroll tax administration. You decide how much control
you want the provider to have over your payroll. For example, you may choose the supplier’s
online option that allows you to upload payroll hours in the supplier’s system, print
paychecks to your own printer, and manage your payroll records online; the supplier would
help you with more complex matters such as payroll tax administration. Or you may have the
supplier handle all of your payroll duties and send you the paychecks and payroll reports by
payday.
Employee Leasing
You may use an employee leasing company for all of your payroll, employee benefits, human
resources and risk-management needs. In this system, you enter into a contract with the leasing
company, which becomes the official employer; however, you retain managerial control over
your employees. The leasing company has the buying power necessary to obtain
competitive benefits rates, which you would not get on your own. Employee leasing companies
vary from payroll service providers in that the latter do not become the official provider nor do
they obtain benefits for your employees.

Considerations
Before you do business with a payroll service provider or an employee leasing company, check
the company’s credentials and ensure it meets federal and state regulations. Obtain a clear,
written agreement from the company, outlining the company’s responsibilities, including
penalties that may arise from payroll errorsit makes.

6.5 CONCLUSION
Payroll Management System” software developed for a company has been designed to achieve
maximum efficiency and reduce the time taken to handle the Payroll activity. It is designed to
replace an existing manual record system thereby reducing time taken for calculations and for
storing data. The system is strong enough to withstand regressive daily operations under
conditions where the database is maintained and cleared over a certain time of span.
The implementation of the system in the organization will considerably reduce data entry, time
and also provide readily calculated reports. With the theoretical inclination of our syllabus it
becomes very essential to take the utmost advantage of any opportunity of gaining practical
experience that comes along. The construction of this Minor Project PAYROLL
