ABSTRACT

In a company, payroll is the sum of all financial records of salaries for an employee, wages and
deductions. In accounting, payroll refers to the amount paid to employees for services they
provided during a certain period of time. Payroll plays a major role in a company for several
reasons.
Payroll Management System gives you the power to:
Manage Employee Information Efficiently.
Monitor the attendance of employee
Generate Pay-Slip at the convenience of a mouse click.
Generate and Manage the Payroll Processes according to the Salary Structure assigned to
the employee.
Generate all the Reports related to employee, attendance, payroll etc.

This report is an attempt to analyze the project with the title Human Resource Payroll
Management System. (HRPMS). This system I have developed for Mikano International
Limited, (Human Resource Department) solves the problem of paper work, calculation errors, Data
Retrieval, Data Integrity, and Data Security. This software is very flexible and can be developed
overtime based on the requirements that surface overtime. The software integrates four modules
which are the Login Module, Employee Registration, Employee Attendance, and Employee
Payment. Besides the system uses a connection string, Microsoft Access Database, SQL command
and so forth. The intent of this HRPMS is to help the Human Resource department in their
management of employee record and payroll transaction. The methodology used is a Cyclical
Methodology also known as Spiral Methodology.

CHAPTER ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION

1.1.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND

The proposed system built is a Human Resource Payroll Management System for Mikano
International Limited. The Human Resource department will use this system to replace the
current manual system. The staff of the Human Resource Department, Accountants, and Head
of Departments will be the end users of this system.

Head of Departments monitor attendance timesheet for every staff in his or her department.
Also the account department generates payment reports with an outsourced software called
PIMS (Profile Integrated Management System).

The proposed Human Resource Payroll Management System can handle and manage complex
calculations that would otherwise have been prone to errors. For example, the system
accurately deducts or adds to the basic salary based on the absent hours or overtime of each
employee. The user of the system just has to input required field in the form and allowance
advanced, deduction and others will be generated.

When the new system is implemented, payroll management will be easier and more efficient.
This computerized system will improve the companys services to her staff. The system stores
all records in a database. This will improve data integrity and security.
1.2 PROBLEM DEFINITION
Mikano international is specialized in Generator Production, Generator Assembly,
Construction Equipment, Steel Fabrication and Power Solutions. The company has well over
25 departments and several Blue Collar Workers.
The company currently does not have a dedicated payroll management system. The current
system does not automate the tracking of employee attendance, overtime hours and absent
hours.
8



Overtime stay are being recorded on paper and signed by the respective head of department.
This signed document is then forwarded to the Human Resource Department for calculation of
overtime payment.

The current system does not have a dedicated monthly/Quarterly or annual report on salary
paid.
1.3 SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY
This system was developed to tackle the problem of calculation errors, data retrieval, paperwork,
data integrity, data security.
The proposed Human Resource Payroll Management System can handle and manage complex
calculations that would otherwise have been prone to errors. For example, the system accurately
deducts or adds to the basic salary based on the absent hours or overtime of each employee.
When the new system is implemented, payroll management will be easier and more efficient. This
computerized system will improve the companys services to her staff. The system stores all
records in database. This will improve data integrity and security.

1.4 OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
The objective of this proposed HRPMS is to:
a. Have an accurate record of all staff such as their Home address, Email Address, Mobile
number, Department etc.
b. Monitor the attendance of the staff which includes the total hours spent daily, weekly
and quarterly, overtime hours as well as absent hours.
c. Also have an overview of the net payment and gross staff payment based on the number
of hours worked
As a result of this, time and data for all employees are managed systematically. This
can improve data integrity and makes it easy to save, retrieve and manage records.

9


1.5 SCOPE OF STUDY
The Human Resource Payroll Management System focuses on managing the Employee
Registration, Attendance and Payroll of the company. The modules that run on the HRPMS
are:
a. Login
b. Registration
c. Time and Attendance
d. Payment and Payroll processing

The end users of the HRPMS are the Payroll Admin, Head of Departments and Accountants.
However, only authorized staff with valid usernames and passwords are capable of using the
system.
1.6 METHODOLOGY
CYCLICAL METHODOLOGY

The methodology used is the cyclical methodology. The cyclical methodology informally known
as the spiral methodology is an incremental improvement on a sequential methodology. It allows
for feedback from the user. There are stages where mistakes in the requirements can be corrected.
The user gets a peek at the results and can feed back information. With this methodology, the
10


implementation team can feed performance and viability information back to the requirement team
and the design team.

In the process of developing the Human Resource Payroll Management System, I was faced with
short cyclical iterations which were sort of Think a little, Plan a little and Design A Little.
This process went on and on until the finished product was achieved.
In the analysis phase I drew a mockup of what I wanted the software to do and also gathered
requirements from the human resource department.
In the design phase, I mapped out a conceptual model of what my database will contain. I also
designed the user interface and included various tools and controls. I thereafter implemented it
with a .net language and tested it.
However, the phases were imperfect and iterative so I had to go through the process all over again
until the finished product was achieved.

CHAPTER TWO

2.1 SYSTEM ANALYSIS
2.1.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE CURRENT SYSTEM
Salary information are usually keyed into an excel sheet and sent to the bank for payment. There
are no deductions of salaries as there is no means of calculating deductions. There is no automation
of attendance management.
The current system does not automate the tracking of employee attendance, overtime hours and
absent hours.

2.1.2 PROBLEMS WITH THE CURRENT SYSTEM
Calculation Errors
In the process of calculating individual salary of every employee there is tendency for the
account department to make mistakes.
Data Retrieval.
There is no way of retrieving past records of salaries and employees that have come and
left the company.
Data Integrity
Since there is no way of retrieving records from the database then there is no way of
auditing data available
Data Security
Since there is no database, available data is not secured.
Paperwork
There are too many papers passed from one department to another due to lack of an
automated system
Disintegrated Management
The accounting system is not well integrated with the employee data and their respective
attendance.

CHAPTER THREE
3.1 SYSTEM DESIGN
OVERVIEW
This chapter presents the design of a Human Resource Payroll Management System. It also
illustrates a detailed study of how the design was carried out together with the various tools used
in ensuring the successful transformation of the design from paper to implementation.
The design for this project work has been divided into following major parts which are:
The Input Design
The Output Design
The Database Design
3.2 ARCHITECTURE
LAYERED ARCHITECTURE
This layered approach supports the incremental development of systems. As a layer is
developed, some of the services provided by that layer may be made available to users. The
architecture is also changeable and portable. So long as its interface is unchanged, a layer
can be replaced by another, equivalent layer. Furthermore, when layer interfaces change or
new facilities are added to a layer, only the adjacent layer is affected. As layered systems
localize machine dependencies in inner layers, this makes it easier to provide multi-platform
implementations of an application system. Only the inner, machine-dependent layers need
be re-implemented to take account of the facilities of a different operating system or
database.
21



Source: Software Engineering by Sommerville pg.167

The above illustrates a layered architecture with four layers. The lowest layer includes
system support softwaretypically database and operating system support. The next layer
is the application layer that includes the components concerned with the application
functionality and utility components that are used by other application components. The third
layer is concerned with user interface management and providing user authentication and
authorization, with the top layer providing user interface facilities.
The Human Resource Payroll Management System thus has
1. A user interface layer which is the windows form
2. A user interface Management Authentication and Authorization Layer which is the login
form. The login form authenticates and authorizes a potential user.
3. The Core Business Logic Layer which provides functionalities such as data retrieval,
generating reports with SAP crystal report and printing.
4. The database layer which is the Microsoft Access database.

3.3 INPUT DESIGN
3.3.1 EMPLOYEE REGISTRATION
The registration module helps to have a database of all the employee by keying in
information such as Name, Address, Contacts, Blood Group, Basic Salary and so forth.
Every new employees data is keyed in and safely stored in a database. If an employee is
sacked or resigned, his/her data can be deleted. This deletion can be done by fetching the
record of an employee and deleting. The validation used is to make sure that no field is
empty. The system also allows to have a view of all employee record as well as a report
which can be printed.




23


EMPLOYEE REGISTRATION USER INTERFACE
3.3.2 ADMIN LOGIN
The login module makes sure that only an authorized staff is allowed to use the system.
When a user logs in, a user interface is opened and he can perform any of the above
functions at a mouse click within an interface. However, there are restrictions for other
users.


24


3.3.3 MAIN MENU
The main menu interface allows end users to access the various modules of the system with a
mouse click

Main Menu Interface

3.3.4 TIME AND ATTENDANCE
The purpose of the attendance module is to monitor the time-in and time-out of every
employee and either add or subtract from the time span from their basic working time.
Every employee is expected to work for nine hours every day (8am to 5pm), so if you come
late to work, leave earlier than expected, or stay beyond expected, the system provides
justice. The overtime and absent hours is then effected in the salary. An attendance record
can also be generated.
25




3.3.5 PAYMENT AND PAYROLL PROCESSING
The purpose of this module is to control the processing of salaries. It is used for monthly
processing of all deductions, overtime payments. This module has a drop down list of all
employee id. When an employee id is selected, a record is displayed and the overtime rate
is then keyed in. The overtime rate differs and varies based on the rank of the employee in
the organization. A record and report can also be generated thereafter.
26





27


3.4 OUTPUT DESIGN
3.4.1 PAYSLIP
The payroll admin can generate a payslip that correlates with each employees payment.



28


3.4.2 EMPLOYEE REPORT
This report is a printable information of all employee in the organization


3.4.3 PAYMENT REPORT
This is a printable report of all salary payments made for the month.


3.5 DATABASE DESIGN
The payroll database has four tables namely:
1. User Table
2. EmployeeRegistration
3. EmployeePayment
4. EmployeeAttendance
29




3.6 CONTEXT DIAGRAM
This data-flow diagram of the Human Resource Payroll Management System shows the system
boundaries, external entities that interact with the system, and the major information flows
between the entities and the system.
30


3.7 DATAFLOW DIAGRAM
This diagram illustrates the movement of data between external entities and the processes and
data stores within a system.



31


3.8 ENTITY RELATIONSHIP DIAGRAM
An entity relationship model is an abstract way of describing the systems database. It includes a
graphical representation of the entities, associations, and data for the system.
The Human Resource Payroll Management System consists of 8 entities namely:
1. Payroll Admin
2. Payslip
3. Employee
4. Accountants
5. Head of Departments
6. Attendance
7. Salary
8. Report Sheet

Admin Employee Relationship
This is a one-to-many relationship in which a payroll admin can register all employees, both
new and existing.


Admin - PaySlip Relationship
This is a one-to-many relationship in which a payroll admin can generate pay-slips for all
paid employees.


Admin Salary Relationship
This is a one-to-many relationship in which a payroll admin can process the salary of all
employees based on the overtime rate agreed on by the company.


32


Accountants Reports Relationship
This is a many-to-many relationship in which the account department can audit and monitor
the amount payable by the payroll system.


H.O.D Attendance Relationship
This is a many-to-many relationship where every head of department inputs the time in and
time out of every employee in his/her department.


Employee Payslip Relationship
This is a many-to-many relationship where every paid employee receives a payslip from the
HR. department.

CHAPTER FOUR
4.1 IMPLEMENTATION
System implementation is an important phase of the system development. It is proof of the reality
of the system of study. This chapter discusses the implementation, system requirement and the
concept behind the application.
In the implementation of this project, the classes used are as follows:
Login Class
Main Menu Class
Employee Registration Class
Employee Record Class
Employee Report Class
Employee Attendance Class
Attendance Record Class
Employee Payment Class
Payment Record Class

4.2 SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION TECHNOLOGIES
The Human Resource Payroll Management System was developed as a Windows desktop
application with a central database which can be shared. Several tools used during implementation
include the following:

4.2.1 SOFTWARE

a. MICROSOFT OFFICE ACCESS was used as the database management system. This
system from Microsoft combines the relational Microsoft Jet Database Engine with a
graphical user interface and software-development tools. It is a member of the Microsoft
Office suite of applications, included in the Professional and higher editions or sold
separately.
35



b. VISUAL BASIC - Visual Basic .NET is an object-oriented computer programming
language that can be viewed as an evolution of the classic Visual Basic (VB), implemented
on the .NET Framework
c. SAP CRYSTAL REPORT- Crystal Reports is a business intelligence application,
currently marketed to small businesses by SAP AG. It was used to design and generate
reports from a pool of data sources. It can be integrated to visual studio IDE for an enriched
reports generation.
d. .NET FRAMEWORK The .NET Framework (pronounced dot net) is a software
framework developed by Microsoft that runs primarily on Microsoft Windows. It
includes a large library and provides language interoperability (each language can use
code written in other languages) across several programming languages.

4.2.2 HARDWARE

i. Desktop or laptop with at least 2.0 GHz Processor speed.
ii. At least 40 GB Hard Disk Capacity.
iii. 512 RAM.


36


CHAPER FIVE
EXPERIENCES GAINED
In the course of developing this software, I have learnt a lot of system analysis and design skills
ranging from system planning, requirement analysis, database design, use of .net framework etc.
I learnt some soft skills when gathering my requirements from the human resource department
such as how to ask questions, how to communicate in layman terms, how to interact with people
older than you and so forth.
I must say that this project as given me the underlying foundation for developing bigger projects.

CONCLUSION
After my research and my finalization of this project, I can say that this project is going to solve
many problems for Mikano international limited ranging from data retrieval, data security, data
integrity etc. This project is going to be favorable to the employee as well as the employer. The
employee gets paid according to his working time and the employer also pays his staff according
to their work done. In conclusion, I recommend this project to Mikano International Limited.
