ABSTRACT
Noveleta Municipal Office is located at Noveleta, Cavite. Currently, the Municipal Office has 200 employees who are categorized into two types: Regular Employee and Employee with Job Order. They use manual system for their payroll. Because of the numerous employees working in the municipality, they have difficulty computing the salary for every pay period. Thus, an automated payroll system was proposed to improve their manual payroll process.
Network-based Payroll System for Noveleta Municipal Office was developed to provide accurate and efficient salary computation. It aimed to lessen the work done and time allotted in doing the payroll. It provides security and easy file maintenance. It also generates necessary reports.
The proposed system was developed using Microsoft Visual Basic.net programming language, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 for the Database, and Crystal Reports v.9 for the report generation.
1.1 Background of the Study
Technology nowadays is rapidly developing. In business, computerized systems with different purposes are used to cope up with the modern world. One of the systems that are being developed is the payroll system which involves the process of salary computation.
During the early years, Noveleta was a barrio of Kawit. Its restful atmosphere, brought by the sea, wind and beautiful sunset, and complemented by its warm, hospitable, amiable people had both attracted vacationers from all places. Through the years, Noveleta’s population increased considerably. This prompted Gov. Gen. Jose Gandara to have it separated from Kawit to become an independent town.
Currently, the Municipal Office has 210 employees who are categorized into two types: Regular Employee and Employee with Job Order (EJO). Regular Employees are those included in the Plantilla Positions and receive benefits, while EJO such as the Street Sweepers and Office Clerks are those who do not receive benefits. Regular employees receive PERA, 13 month pay, ADCOM, clothing allowance and Productivity Allowance. Added benefits such as the RATA, Travel Allowance and Cash Gift are given only to the Office Heads. Employees under the offices of Department of Agriculture, MSWD, and MHO are also regular employees but they have different computation because their salary is specified by their National Office. MHO receives additional benefits such as Hazard Pay, Subsistence and Laundry.
Regular employees are given different kinds of leave, namely: vacation leave, maternity leave, force leave and sick leave. They are allotted with 1.25 days of allowable leave per month.
If the point is not fully consumed within the month, it is added to points allotted for the succeeding months.
The deductions from the salary of each employee are Philhealth, GSIS, Withholding tax, Pag-ibig contribution, and other loans.
The current payroll system is done manually. It passes through different offices, namely, HRMO, Treasury and Accounting. HRMO is in charge of the attendance record of employees. They compute for the absences, tardiness, over time, and under time of each employee. The accounting office computes for the deduction of each employee and produces copies which are given to the treasury office. The treasury office handles the computation of salary and uses MS Excel to compute and stored data. The basic salary given to the regular employees depends on their position. For the regular employee, there is a corresponding rate per position. For the Employee with Job Order, the Mayor approves the submitted proposal of salary rate given to them. Salary is distributed every 15th and last day of the month. The working days counted for the computation of salary every 15th day start from the 26th day of the previous month until the 10th day of the current month.
As one of the government offices, Noveleta Municipal Office should offer good service for their constituent. In order to provide this kind of service, a computerized system is needed.
1.2 Statement of the Research Problem
Using the current Payroll System, Noveleta Municipal Office encounters problems such as attendance monitoring, data redundancy, complicated Interface, miscalculation of salary, maintenance, and security of files.
Attendance monitoring. HRMO uses DTR for attendance to log in and out of work. Problem arises when employees ask their co-worker to log their name even if they are not yet really in the office. There is no way to know if employees really work that day and time.
Data redundancy. The current payroll system is done manually, in effect; there is a need for more paper works. Printed copies of documents are sent to offices involved. Different offices hold copies of the documents, so that when the documents have to be updated, all the copies should also be updated. As a result, data redundancy is committed.
Complicated interface. The Treasury Office uses MS Excel Application in their payroll system. It is where they input necessary data for the computation of the salary. The complicated interface of the application plus the large number of data to be inputted makes it hard for the person in charge to do the work faster. This particular problem results to slow payroll process. It takes the office 5 days to finish the computation.
Miscalculations. The establishment has 210 employees, which means 210 salary computations. All of their salary has to be manually calculated first using the calculator, before inputting and saving the data to MS Excel. Calculating all the employees' salary is not easy. It takes a lot of time and effort. There are times when the person in charge of the computation gets confused with the numbers or inputs wrong amount, which leads to errors and inaccurate financial transactions.
Maintenance. The treasury office uses only one computer only for data storage. All computations are saved in that computer without other back up. The problem is, when the computer fails, there will be no other means to retrieve the files.
Confidentiality and security. Since the Municipality is a public area, unauthorized persons can easily view important files from the computer and alter some data without others noticing it.
1.3 Statement of Objectives General Objective:
The main objective of this study is to develop and implement Network-based Payroll System for Noveleta Municipal Office.
Specific Objectives
1. To gather information and necessary materials needed to develop the system. 2. To conduct interviews from the persons involved and observations from the
company.
3. To determine the problems of the company regarding their current payroll system. 4. To provide possible solutions for problems identified.
5. To develop prototype of the system and gather feedback from prospective users about the proposed system.
6. To help the municipality become updated to the modern world using the system. 7. To apply the theories of DFD, ERD, Normalization and Networking in order to
provide solutions and improve the current system.
1.4 Significance of the Study
The proposed system would be beneficial to the following:
Municipality. The system would help the municipality in coping up with the rapid
advancement and development of technology. It will impose good and high technology.
Treasury Office. It would help the office in monitoring the salary records of all the
employees. Through the use of this system, they can access records, compute salary, update records, and generate reports easily. It will also help them by saving time and effort.
HRMO. It would lessen the work load of the HRMO. Manual computation of rendered
hours is no longer required because data will be directly inputted into the system. Due to this, the office will lessen its expenses.
Employees. This system would help employees in monitoring their salary records. Using
the proposed Payroll System with Online Viewing, they do not have to worry with misplaced pay slip. They could easily view their record online.
Proponents. The researchers will gain knowledge about the business system existing
inside a municipal office, with this; skills in system analysis will be improved. Theories learned inside the classroom such as DFD, Normalization and Networking will be applied in real setting/ situation.
Future researchers. They would be aware of the recent process in payroll system. Also,
1.5 Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study deals with the Payroll Processing. It covers up all the transactions for all types of employees. There will be access level that caters different types of user. Each access level has its own access rights. Instead of DTR, Biometrics would be used for recording attendance, through this; attendance can be monitored by the system. Employees would place their index finger on the scanner to record the time they start and finish work. The scanner would be connected to the system, to access the attendance record, which would be used for the computation of salary. The computation of salary would be included in the system. Accurate calculations would be done in order to come up with the correct amount of salary. Computations of salary includes Basic Pay and allowances (ADCOM, clothing allowance, cash gift, Hazard Pay, Laundry allowance, PERA, productivity allowance, RATA, subsistence). Generation of reports, maintenance, back-up and recovery would also be included. Reports given to accredited agencies such as Unlad Bank, GSIS, BIR, Philhealth and Pag-Ibig are incorporated in the system.
The system that the proponents has to developed does include the hiring of the applicants. Though, data inputs for new employees will come from the HRMO. Application and computation for external loan are also not included in the system. The proposed system can not be accessed online, and salary distribution through ATM is not included.

1.6 Methodology of the Study
The system follows a series of step-by-step process in order to finish the system and attain its objectives. Techniques and tools were used in each step for the development of the system.
The proponents used the V-Model as guideline to develop the system. The V-model is a software development model, which can be presumed to be the extension of the waterfall model. Instead of moving down in a linear way, the process steps are bent upwards after the coding phase, to form the typical V shape. The V-Model demonstrates the relationships between each phase of the development life cycle and its associated phase of testing.
The V-model deploys a well-structured method in which each phase can be implemented by the detailed documentation of the previous phase. Testing activities like test designing start at the beginning of the project well before coding and therefore saves a huge amount of the project time. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_(software_development)). The phases of the V-Model include: Figure 1.1 V-Model Requirements Analysis Systems Design Program Design Coding Unit and Integration System System Testing Acceptance Testing Operation & Maintenance Validate requirements Verify Design
Requirement Analysis. This phase is concerned about understanding the situation of the
company and identifying its problems that had been the cause for the proposal of a new system. In this phase, the proponents conducted interviews and observations from the company persons involved. In doing this, problems encountered using their present system were identified and possible solutions were proposed.
System Design. In this phase, the proponents created a system design that would provide
solutions to the problems encountered by the current system of the municipality. This includes the detailed description of what the system can do. It is also in this phase where proponents used DFD, ERD and Normalization in order to visual the flow of data and processes.
Program Design. The proponents used VB.net to create a program that would access the
database locally. Then ASP.net will be used by the employees to view their account online. SQL was used as the database. In attendance monitoring, biometrics using finger print scanner would be used.
Coding. Next phase would be the program coding. The proponents determined what
modules must be included in the system. One by one, the module was created showing specific purpose.
Unit and Integration Testing. In this phase, the proponents made an independently
working system module. They followed the concept that the program and data are intimately tied to each other. They tested each module on its own and see if the modules could work on its own.
System Testing. In this phase, the proponents made sure that there were no conflicting
modules and it ran as one system. They entered sample data and checked if every module worked as expected.
8 2
Acceptance Testing. In this phase, the proponents will demonstrate to the company how
the proposed system works. They will let them try the system and ask their comments and feedbacks.
Operation and Maintenance. In this phase, the proposed system is implemented to the

Related Literature
Computers nowadays are widely used in every transaction processes. Computerization make it easy for a company to do their internal and external transactions and it can be linked to other computers. Payroll system is one of the many transactions that are being worked on computer. The proponents worked on a custom-made payroll system done for the specific need of the company. The proponents searched on related literature that would aid in developing an effective payroll system as one of the research processes followed. The related literatures are as follow.
2.1 Local Literature
AHNEX Builders Network – Based Payroll System Dayrit, 2007
AHNEX Builder Network – Based Payroll System was designed for the newly set-up AHNEX Builders. The company is currently using Microsoft Excel in computing net pay which is time consuming. This proposed system will help in the work of the users in an easier process. Visual basic 6, Microsoft Access, and Crystal Report 9 were used for designing and creating the system. This was designed to meet the requirements of the company for a better and more enhanced system. Keeping track of record of employees, computing the salary and wages of each employee and generating reports were included in the proposed system. This automatically computes the basic pay of each employee. Contributions like PAG-IBIG, Philhealth, withholding taxes were also included in computing the payroll. The main objective of the proposed system
was to develop a system in a more accurate efficient and secured data. The proponents would like to help the management and accountant for well-organized and efficient payroll.
The proponents found out that computerization of the payroll process of all payroll transactions in the company including the maintenance module is feasible. The related literature about AHNEX Builders’ payroll showed a common problem. They use Microsoft Excel in computing net pay that makes the computations time consuming. The proponents are to design a system that generates report, keeps track of files and information, and computes employees’ monthly salary. The proposed system includes the deductions of withholding tax and GSIS contributions/remittances.
JBC Engineering specialist’s Payroll System A. Reyes, 2000
JBC Engineering specialist’s Payroll System was created by the proponents in order for the company to have a better way in computing their payroll. The proponents were able to modernize their system by computerizing their manual tasks such as record keeping and computing their payroll. A database was added to the system so that the company would not have to rely on papers to store valuable information about an employee. The database system interfaces with an operating system to set-up, update and retrieve data items from a database organized as single logical and physical unit. This also helps them track of the progress of an employee. Another advantage of the new payroll system is in generating the payroll slips, which is printed out by the computer. The payroll slip contains all the information on how the computation arrives on the Net Pay amount an employee receives. The system also boasts of security maintenance so that only limited people is given access to the files. The proponents’
main objective in developing the system is to make the company’s current manual system better and more efficient with the use of computer. “
The proponents created a computerized payroll system that will add a database into the system which is likely the same as with JBC Engineering specialist’s Payroll System. The system lessens the use of paper outputs and paper filings. The proponents created a database the can easily be selected, inserted, updated and deleted, so maintaining their system will be a breeze. They added a print friendly reports generated through the system like pay slip for example. Included in the system is the security module that gives access to the priority user of the system and that a certain user will have feature designated to him.
Network Based Payroll for Citimotors Las Piñas L. Gawaran, 2007
The current payroll system of Citimotors Las Piñas is prepared manually. Noticeably, it has an array of disadvantages. That is why a Network-Based payroll system for the Citimotors Las Piñas was proposed to facilitate fast and easy preparation of its payroll. The proponents made sure that the system would be user friendly. It assures that its features and functions are simple hence, easy to understand. But it boasts of security maintenance that ensures limited and regulated accessibility. Furthermore, the proponents’ objective is to make the company’s current system more efficient with the aid of the computer technology.
The proponents developed a system that is a network based payroll system that will link/network 3 offices that handle the whole payroll processes namely the HRMO, Treasury Office, and the Accounting Office so that it will be easy for the 3 offices to transfer information and files. In comparison with the system done by J. Gawaran, the proposed system is a
networkbased feature and its design is developed with a user-friendly interfaces and has all the features that meet the specific need of the company. Accessing the system will be easy to give an efficient help.
Dasmariñas Municipality Payroll System L. Lardizabal , 2005
The Dasmariñas Municipality Payroll System (DMPS) was designed to address the existing inefficiency and inaccuracy of its present system. There are problems encountered like loss of files and data, slow process of salary computation, difficulty in retrieving and maintaining of records, vulnerability of the data to be lost or misused, and overall security of the payroll process. The main objective of the DMPS was to provide the municipality with a more convenient and more reliable system of recording, storing, and retrieval of data needed to efficiently run the payroll of the employees correctly and accurately. The advantage of the system is to set up, update and retrieve data items from organized database. Another advantage of the new payroll system is generating the payroll report slips and other forms included in the system, which will be printed out by the computer. The system also boasts of security maintenance so that authorized people will only be given access to the files. The language used in making the system was Visual Basic 6.0. The proponents made sure that the system would be user-friendly, making the municipality’s current system better and more efficient with the use of the computer.
The proponents’ study focuses on Noveleta Municipality payroll system. In comparison with Dasmariñas Municipality Payroll system, the system created was from manual to computerized system. The proponents created a reliable, secured and convenient payroll system
from a manual system for a government office need to have this kind of system so that they can give additional focus on more important activities to be transacted. The system created by Lardizabal shows common problems with the proposed system that are normally experienced from a manual system such as loss of files and data, slow process of salary computation and difficulty in retrieving and maintaining records, vulnerability of the data to be lost or misused, and overall security of the payroll process. Security is a main function because the information in the system should be kept in its confidentiality.

Centralized payroll processing is for multiple branches. Track employee attendance from any location, anytime, even from the convenience of your home. Overtime, late arrivals & early departure reports, automatic calculation of hours, leaves, taxes and deductions to generate payroll, shift scheduling & rule based penalties are the features included.
Just like Biometrics Time Management and Payroll system, the proponents developed a system with a biometrics time management. The employee will time in on a finger print scanner as their Bundy clock and their time will be recorded. The use of DTR is not applicable anymore. In the system, the computation of absences and tardiness will be computerized. Because the daily time management is already computerized the transferring of data is easy to access and compute which provesits feasibility from the Biometric Time Management & Payroll Software.

3.3 Theories used in the study 3.3.1 Automation
Automation is the utilization of computing machines or computers to automatically compute data that are fed to it by programming those machines. Automation of systems nowadays is dramatically increasing because of the need for speed and reliable information system wherein the desired information can be obtained without tumbling out files in large data cabinets and archives. This theory waas used in the proposed Payroll system of Noveleta’s municipal office. Data inputs in the form of hours and days worked and corresponding deductions such as tax and individual insurance shares will be introduced to the computers. As an output, the machine will print pay slips and reports that are ready to be delivered to external entities outside the system.
By using this theory, less work will be done by the accounting department because the reports for the computation of deduction will now be internal to the computerized payroll system. This technique will greatly increase the speed of calculating each employee’s salary with utmost minimal human intervention. Minimizing human intervention will most likely reduce the instances of errors in the computation of salary.
3.3.2 Biometrics
Biometrics comes from the word “bios” which means life and “metron” which means to measure (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biometrics, 2008). At first the proponents were confused with the term because it typically implies the measure of life. It may be the population density of biological elements within an ecosystem or it may imply the biodiversity of our planet.
Nowadays, the meaning of biometrics evolved with the technology. Biometrics today refers to gadgets that are used to identify humans physiologically. The most popular biometric gadgets are fingerprint and iris scanners because the fingerprint and iris are unique for all human beings that even identical twins do not have the same fingerprint or iris structures.
Through this theory, the proponents can use biometric gadgets to identify the employees in the municipal office, and doing such things will ensure that no employee will be able to cheat. For example, an employee can mark a time in to other employee who comes late. When the system has a biometric strategy of identification, no employees can time themselves in without their physiological identity being verified.
The system will be using fingerprint scanner, a biometric gadget that scans fingerprint. Employees are going to time themselves in or out by scanning their index finger into the fingerprint scanner.
3.3.3 Data Flow Diagram
Data flow diagrams are used to graphically depict flow of data within an organization. It is very useful because it allows the analyst to visualize the flow of data and track the very details of the problems being solved. Having a data flow diagram will prevent the analyst from committing to the technical implementation of his proposed system at an early stage. The system analyst will free himself from thinking too much because all of his efforts will be focused on understanding the flow of information within the organization that he/she is analyzing. It will also help the system analyst to further understand the relation of the studied system to its subsystem and other external systems. During the analysis of a proposed system, it will also help to determine whether the necessary data and processes have been defined, thus allowing a systematic approach in the analysis of the problem (Kendall, 2004).
The proponents used data flow diagram to fully understand the flow of data which would give them a bird’s eye view of the problem. All the information that the proponents had gathered through interviews were compiled to help determine the necessary business activities within the existing payroll system. When all the business activities had been identified, the proponents started drawing the data flow diagram. With this, they were able to see where the data would go and planned necessary automations and made simplification.
3.3.4 Database
Databases are electronic files saved in the hard disk of computers which holds tables that are logically associated with each other. These databases are used to store valuable information that can be accessed or queried by multiple software applications that are used by an organization. Through the use of database, some issues of confidentiality and data security can be solved. It can also take part in minimizing data redundancy and maximizing data integrity. Departments within an organization can share the same information and can manipulate that information according to their access rights.
The proposed system used this theory to eliminate data redundancy within the organization. All the information about an employee will be saved in a database. Their log in and log out time will also be saved on it making it available to programs that need to access those data.
3.3.5 Normalization
Normalization is the process of designing relational database wherein complex database tables are divided into a set of simpler tables to eliminate anomalies. Eliminating anomalies will also protect the database from errors that may result in inaccurate queries and data loss, thus strengthening the integrity of data. In addition to strengthening data integrity, normalized databases are more stable and easily maintained than the complement.
The proposed system used this theory to create a structured data storage method. All the information requirements of the system are collected first. Second, the gathered requirements or fields are converted to its first normal form. Repeating groups are removed by separating it as another table. In the second normal form, all the attributes are functionally dependent on the primary key. All other partially dependent attributes are separated from the original table. Next to it is to convert it to the third normal form. A normalized relation is in its third normal form when all of the non-key attributes are fully functionally dependent on the primary key and there are no transitive dependencies (Kendall, 2004).
3.3.6 ERD
An Entity-relationship diagram is a relational schema database modeling method used to model a system and its requirements in a top-down approach. This approach is commonly used in relational database design. Entities in an Entity-relationship diagram are discrete objects. Examples of these are person, place or things which you need to collect data or attributes. Relationship tells how two or more objects are related to one another. They can be thought of as verbs that links two or more nouns. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity-relationship_model, 2008).
The proponents used the theory to identify the entities and the kind of relationship that occur between these entities. Doing this systematic approach gave a solid foundation of the information requirements of the municipal office. An ERD is easy to transform to a database table and only uses minimal normalization procedures.
3.3.7 Network
A network is the interconnection of two or more computers. It is an interconnection of usually passive electronic components that perform a specific function to simulate a transmission line or to perform a mathematical function such as integration or differentiation. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network, 2008)
In information technology, a network is a series of points or nodes interconnected by communication paths. Networks can interconnect with other networks and contain sub networks.
The proponents used the theory of network to let computers within the municipal office communicate with each other and, therefore, minimize the use of printed reports that is only internal to the organization.
CHAPTER 4 The Existing System
4.1 Description of the System
The Municipal Office of Noveleta is currently using a manual system on their payroll. Manual computations used in calculating are calculator and MS Excel. They also use MS Excel for storing their database/master list.
The Treasury Office (TO), Accounting Office (AO) and Human Resource Management Office (HRMO) are the three offices that handle the payroll process.
Employees record on the Bundy Clock using their DTR. During cut-off period every 10 and 25 of each month, the HRMO computes the tardiness and absences of each employee and then makes a certificate of absences and late and pass it to the TO. The Treasury is in charge of all payroll computations. The office computes the gross pay from the basic pay of each employee and the number of late and absences whatever type of employee he is ( Regular or Employee with Job Order). The deductions of Withholding Tax, GSIS, Phil Health, Insurances and the like are sent to Accounting Office by the agencies handling these deductions: BIR, GSIS, PAG-IBIG, PHILHEALTH, and other Lending Companies like UNLAD Bank, and MPS Lending Company.
The salary of the employees is based on the Plantilla that comes from the CSC and DBM which state the monthly salary and position to be given to the regular employee and to the EJO which is based on the mayor’s specification.

4.7 Problem Areas
In using their current Payroll System, Noveleta Municipal Office encounters problems such as problems with attendance monitoring, data redundancy, complicated interface, error in calculations, file retrieval and back-up, and unsecured files.
First, they encounter problem in attendance monitoring. They use DTR for attendance to log in and out of work. This is a problem because employees can just ask their co-worker to log their name even if they are not yet really in the office. There is no way to know if employees really work on time.
Next is the data redundancy. The current payroll system of the municipality is done manually. Due to this manual system, there are more paper works. Printed copies of documents are sent to departments involved. Different departments hold copies of the documents so that when the documents have to be updated, all the copies should also be updated. As a result, data redundancy is committed.
The Treasury Department uses MS Excel Application in their payroll system. It is where they input necessary data for the computation of the salary. The complicated interface of the application plus the large number of data to be inputted makes it hard for the person in charge to do the work faster. This particular problem results to slow payroll process. It takes the department 5 days to finish the computation.
Another problem is the error in calculations. This establishment has around 200 employees, which means around 200 salary computations. All of their salary has to be manually calculated using the calculator, before inputting and saving the data to MS Excel. Calculating all the employees' salary is not easy. It takes a lot of time and effort. There are times when the
person in charge of the computation gets confused with the numbers or inputs of wrong amount, which leads to errors and inaccurate financial transactions.
Retrieval and back up of file is another problem. The treasury department uses only one computer only for data storage. All computations are saved in that computer without other back up. The problem is, when the computer fails, there will be no other means to retrieve the files. Another thing is that there is no CD driver installed and the floppy disk is not working. They are not able to get a softcopy of the data.
Lastly is confidentiality and security of data. Since the Municipality is a public area, unauthorized persons can easily view important files from the computer and alter some data without others noticing it.
5.1 System Overview
The proposed Network-based payroll system for Noveleta Municipal Office is the solution to the problems encountered using their current manual process. It provides accurate and efficient computation of employees’ salary. The computation which includes deductions is error free and takes less time to accomplish. Attendance recording and monitoring is included in the system which makes getting the total number of hours worked fast and easy. Files can be easily manipulated and organized. Important files are secured and can be accessed only by authorized persons.
The departments that will be given access to the system are the Treasury Office and Human Resource Management Office. The treasury office is in-charge of the salary computation and maintenance modules. The HRMO will be responsible for the Daily Time Record, Leave, and Absences Modules. Files are protected using passwords, so that only authorized users may be able to access the file.
The payroll process starts by getting the hours worked by the employees within the cut-off period, which is done by the Treasury Office. A biometrics system is used to record the hours worked, instead of the usual DTR. Employees have to scan their finger print on the scanner to record the time they start and finish working. The attendance record is updated every time an employee logs-in and out of work.
After getting the hours worked, the system automatically computes salary for the given pay period. The salary of the regular employees is based on the plantilla while the salary of the
employees with job order is based on the mayor’s specification. If approved, absences of regular employees are deducted from the leave points, which is 1.25 days per month. The computation of salary also includes deductions such as GSIS, Pag-ibig, Withholding tax and loans. Regular employees receive PERA, 13month pay, ADCOM, clothing allowance and productivity allowance. Added benefits such as the RATA, Travel Allowance and Cash Gift are given only to the office heads.
The system generates necessary reports such as pay slip, remittance report and general payroll. The pay slips are produced by the system and are given to employees, for them to know the amount deducted from their salary and the total amount of salary they will get. Remittance report is given to the Accredited Agencies such as GSIS, BIR, Pag-ibig and Philhealth. General payroll contains payroll information such as the name, position and address of employees who receive payroll and the amount of salary they receive for each pay period. It is printed and given to the accounting office for record keeping.
A module for File maintenance is included. It will ease updating and sorting of records. Transactions for maintenance such as adding, deleting or editing records are easily done, by just clicking the labeled button for the desired function. Back-up and recovery of files are also provided so that copies of files may be reproduced when needed or be restored when accidentally deleted.
The proposed system is network-based; it allows sharing of information among different users of the system. Through this, users save time and effort in performing tasks. When gathering data, instead of personally going from one department to another, the users may just access data they need via the computer/ system.
5.2 System Objectives
The proposed Network-based Payroll System for Noveleta Municipal Office has the following objectives:
1. To computerize the municipal’s manual payroll system in a network-based environment.
2. To offer a biometric system using finger print scanner for the Time Management System of the municipal.
3. To provide modules such as salary computation, attendance information and maintenance module.
4. To ensure an accurate computation of employees salary. 5. To provide a user-friendly and easy access system.
6. To provide security through the use of passwords and access level . 7. To provide backup and recovery.
8. To generate necessary reports.
5.3 Scope
The proposed system focuses on the payroll of Noveleta Municipal Office. It covers all the transactions for all types of employees. It has modules for Salary Computation, Daily Attendance Record, Leave and Absences, Benefits and Allowances, Log-in Log-out, and Maintenance. Instead of DTR, Biometrics is used for record attendance. Through this, attendance can be monitored by the system. The scanner is connected to the system, to access the attendance record which would be used for the computation of salary.
The computation of salary is included in the system. The system automatically computes for the salary for a given pay period. The computation includes deduction from GSIS, Pag-ibig, Philhealth, loan and withholding tax. Accurate calculations are done in order to come up with the correct amount of salary. Computation for the Benefit and Allowance is also included in the payroll. Regular employees receive PERA, 13month pay, ADCOM, clothing allowance and productivity allowance. Added benefits such as the RATA, Travel Allowance and Cash Gift are given only to the office heads. These benefits and allowances are given to regular employees in certain time of year.
File maintenance is included in the system. Adding, deleting, and editing of records are easily done using the system. Back up and recovery is also provided.
The system also produces pay slips, General Payroll and Remittance Report. The pay slips are produced by the system and are given to employees. Remittance report is given to the Accredited Agencies such as GSIS, BIR, Pag-ibig and Philhealth. General payroll contains payroll information such as the name, position and address of employees who receive payroll and the amount of salary they receive for each pay period. It is printed and given to the accounting office for record keeping.
For security, the system includes level of access and passwords so that authorized users are only given permission to access the system. The system is network-based which allows sharing of information in less time.
5.4 System Justification
The proposed payroll system is needed to solve the problems encountered by the current payroll process of the municipal. Features and benefits are offered to improve their manual system.
Firstly, it provides accurate computation. The system automatically computes the salary of employees in every pay period. The formula for salary and for other inputs is acquired and already programmed in the system, which lessens human errors. The system is also user-friendly. It is designed with buttons and labels so that functions are easy to know and understand.
Attendance monitoring is easy. A finger print scanner is provided to record the attendance of employees. HRMO will not be having trouble manually computing the attendance. The hardware is already connected to the system which updates the attendance. The scanner verifies the finger print and saves it to the database. The use of finger print scanner can also prevent employees from cheating their daily attendance records. When using the DTR, employees can ask their co-employee to log in their time card when they can’t get to work on time. This will now be avoided using the finger print scanner.
Records can easily be updated. File maintenance is included so that record can be added, edited and deleted in less time. Through backup and recovery, files can be copied or restored.
The system includes provided passwords and access level. For security, only authorized users are given permission to access the system. This makes files and other important documents protected.
Lastly, payroll process takes less time using the proposed system. It is network-based, which allows sharing of information in less time. Users are more productive; they lose no time in performing tasks. Data they need could be acquired through the system, which means they do not
need to get inputs or information personally from another office. They access information through the system.
