Design And Implementation Of Employee Information And Payroll System In A Manufacturing Setup
ABSTRACT
The function of this system is to calculate the payment of the employee and also contain the information of each employee in the organization. It stores information and records of all employees in a database. The system will be used by the staff at the human resource department of a typical Manufacturing organization, to calculate and record the data about the employees.
There are several modules in this system such as the employee’s payment calculation and registration of new employees and also to update all employees details. The system helps the staff to check and find information about employees quickly and systematically. The languages used by the researcher for the design and development of the system is JAVA SWING for the front-end and MySQL for the back-end.
The system is designed to prevent problems occurred when using the manual system. The methodology used is the development of this system is the V-Shaped methodology. The structure of V-Shaped methodology consists of the stage of planning, analysis, designing, testing, maintenance and implementation. The scope of the research is focusing more on Manufacturing Organization human resource department regarding the payment structure and personal data of the employees. In addition to other existing system, the payroll developed would be able to send pay slips directly to the employees’ email address, print out pay slip with the pictures of the employees including their details and also send information of newly registered employees to their email and the school email for reviews and corrections.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Over the last few centuries, human beings have experienced two major revolutions: the industrial revolution and the electronic revolution. The former transformed our society from being agriculturally based, whereas the latter transformed our society from being mechanically based to electronically based. In 21st century a lot of manual techniques is now being implemented electronically. Payroll is not an exemption. Implementation of this in Manufacturing Organizations is the goal of this work.
1.1 Background of the Study
Payroll is a company’s list of its employees. It is mostly being referred to as the company’s records of its employees’ salaries and wages, bonuses, and taxes, company’s department that calculates and pays these and so on. Payroll design, testing and implementation of a Manufacturing Company is the goal of this work. The present payroll system is the manual systems of payroll. As employee increases, there is need to have a computerized payroll system. Therefore, the aim of the project is to develop a computerize payroll software for the company.
1.2. Statement of the Problem
Manual systems of payroll always put pressure on people to be correct in all aspect of their work. It is too easy to accidentally switch details and end up with inconsistency in data entry or in hand written orders. It can be time consuming and expensive. The function of this work is to design and implement a payroll system owning to the fact that there exist no automated means of managing employees’ salaries, records and so on in the organization.
Other problems caused by the manual payroll system are:
- Inconsistent data entry which makes it prone to errors information.
- Cost of training employee on payroll management is expensive
- Reduction in sharing information and customer services.
- It is time consuming and costly in reports production.
- Data is not secure.
- Duplication of data is possible.
This project builds a computerized payroll system that will reduce and take care of problems associated by manual method of managing and processing employees’ salaries, records and so on in the organization.
1.3. Aims and Objectives
The aim of this study is to develop a computerized payroll system for a Manufacturing Organization. The specific objectives are to:
- design a computerized payroll system replacing the manual one.
- implement the designed payroll system in (i)
- evaluate the performance of the implemented payroll system in (ii) qualitatively
1.4. Significance of the Study
This study will aid in reducing errors and fraud associated with the manual processing of employees’ salaries and records, increase speed and also enhance the technology edge in a typical manufacturing organization if successfully implemented. Manual payroll systems in such manufacturing companies will be totally eliminated with MPS in place.
1.5. Scope of the Study
This payroll system is developed for Manufacturing Organizations only and might not fit into other similar systems perfectly and would be called MPS (Manufacturing Payroll System).
1.6. Definition of Terms
This section gives a definition and explanation of some of the terms used in the project.
