2.1.1 Schoolcraft College
Abstract

The College-wide systems used for processing payroll and tracking


employee benefit time off were multiple manual paper systems that
required extensive manual data entry into both the colleges
administrative payroll system and spreadsheets and tracking calendars
in the Human Resources department. Approximately 900 staff are paid
bi-weekly and about 300 staff receive benefit time off that is tracked by
bank type: vacation, sick, personal business, and compensation time;
also tracked are jury duty, bereavement, and FMLA. The goal was to
automate this payroll and benefit processes through a computerized
system, to enhance and standardize scheduling systems and to install
electronic time clocks for data entry for some employee groups.

Introduction

Schoolcraft College is a comprehensive, open door, community-based


college. The college operates two campuses in the western suburbs of
Detroit, Michigan. The college 2006 fall enrollment was 11,300 credit
students and 4,500 continuing education students. The college employs
about 1200 staff (excludes faculty) which includes about 250 student
employees at any point in time but up to 400 student employees
throughout the year. We also have a large number of on-call staff that
work during busy registration periods or on an as-need basis. About 300
staff receive benefit time off (benefits) for vacation, sick and personal
business. Compensation time (comp time) is also banked and tracked
when an employee works overtime and takes time off in lieu of over-time

pay. There are four unions and eight pay classes all with unique contract
language rules or benefit attributes. Visit our web site at
www.schoolcraftcollege.edu.

How the System Works and Benefits the College

The system consists of three integrated components: Payroll


Management, Schedule Management, and Benefits Management.
These three components work together to give managers a
computerized system that is standardized and consistent across all
departments but can also be customized to meet unique department
requirements.

Departments with larger numbers of staff use the system


more intently than departments with only a few staff.

1.

Payroll Management

Employee data entry into bi-weekly timesheets are automatically


accessable through the use of staff PCs (personal computers) and 16
time clocks. About 900 employees use the system each pay period and
a total of about 1200 employees use the system annually. Proximity ID
badges are used at the time clocks by about 400 employees each pay
period. The ID badges have dual functionality for both the college
security system and the time clocks and help identify an employee to
customers and students. Payroll and Human Resources staff process 26
payroll periods a year. The complete

elimination of all paper timesheets was realized in 2007 (about


20,000 timesheets per year). These timesheets were reviewed by
Payroll and Human Resources to manually input and track data and
to have historical records. All these records will now be stored on
the server for immediate retrieval. The bi-weekly timesheets are
uploaded to the administrative payroll system in a few hours and
have eliminated about two days of manual data entry by two payroll
employees.
Here is a list of the benefits outlined in the three categories.

Payroll Management:
1)

Payroll imports the timesheet data into the administrative

payroll system in a few hours.


2)
Employees have an easier method to create a timesheet from
a PC or time clock.
3)

All timesheets are calculated electronically.

4)

Supervisors can monitor employee activity at any time.

5)

Supervisors manage from an exception method so only

errors or problems need to be reviewed and corrected.


6)
Paper timesheets have been eliminated but can be printed if
necessary
7)
Employees can review current and archived timesheets from
their PC.
8)

All departments have at least one back-up supervisor.

9)

Employees

electronically.
10)

Payroll can review all timesheets from a variety of reports and

exception methods to review accuracy prior to importing.


11)

The Payroll staff no longer works overtime to ensure

payroll is completed and has more time to review data.


12)

Payroll files no paper timesheets (20,000 annually).

2.1.2 Punjab Agricultural University


Computer based payroll system

In an organization, there are several departments and each


department has a payroll section to manage its payroll activities.
Each section has to perform necessary personnel operations like
data collection and prepa-ration, entry, updates, monitoring and
reporting of data. Many of these existing practices and procedures
need to be reassessed at this time of changing needs, changing
demands of employees and changing technologies [13]. So an
organization needs an integrated computer based payroll system
that would integrate personnel and pay-roll related data collection,
processing in individual departments and payroll audit in a more
efficient and streamlined way.

With this computer based payroll system, payroll section would be


able to keep a record of employees including their personnel data,

Payroll Monitoring System with Attendance and Leave Monitoring

Page 4

pay band, allowances, deductions, savings and taxes etc.. Net pay
of each em-ployee is calculated by using the information about his
allowances and deductions. All these complex calculations have
been incorporated here

in. Many optional allowances and

deductions for the employees are added by specifying the


corresponding details. The individual pay slips and deduction
vouchers are printed out as a receipt. Pay bands, grade pay,
allowances, deductions and tax information are updated if there is
any amendment in salary structure.

This proposed computer based payroll system has been developed


in accordance with requirements of Punjab Agricultural University.
Presently a clipper based payroll system is being used at PAU
which has to be separately installed in each department and timely
updated only by a particular person. This proposed system is
secure, easy to use and provides online access to PAU employees
from any web enabled computer at any time. The computer based
payroll application is a web-based design. The server-side of this
application is partitioned in terms of logic into three-tiers or layers [6]
as shown in Fig. 1 Each layer has a different responsibility in the
overall deployment and within each layer, there are one or more
components.

The layer partitioning is as follows.

1) Presentation Layer: is the user interface for displaying data to


the user and accepting input from the user. This is a part of the
application which enables the user to see the functionality of each
and every component [2]. In case of web applications the web
browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla 2 Firefox) is known as presentation layer. Presentation layer has been built using technologies
Payroll Monitoring System with Attendance and Leave Monitoring

Page 5

like HTML, JavaScript, AJAX and CSS in this proposed system.


Business Layer: is for data validation. The business logic is the
code running on the server that con-tains processing instructions
utilizing technologies such as PHP, ColdFusion Markup Language,
Perl etc. The proposed computer based payroll system uses PHP in
business layer to implement dynamic pages.

2)
ata

Access

Layer:

comprises

database

communication,

constructing SQL queries and executing them via the relevant API.
The data tier is containing all the user information, username, and
passwords for web application.

B. Software Development Life Cycle for Computer based


payroll system

Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a framework that


describes the activities performed at each stage of a software
development project [8]. It starts with the system analysis, design,
and implementation, and continues through the maintenance and
disposal of the system.
The steps given below describe implementation of proposed
system:

1)

System Analysis: Analysis involves a detailed study of the

current clipper based system, leading to specifica-tions of a new


computer based payroll system. During analysis, data are collected
on the available files, decision points and transactions handled by
the

present

system.

Interviews,

on-site

observations

and

questionnaire are the tools used for system analysis of present


system. System Analysis also includes sub-dividing of complex
proc-ess involving the entire system, identification of data store and
manual processes.

2)

Existing system: Payroll is financial record of employees

basic salary, allowances, deductions and net pay.

Punjab

Agricultural University is a vast institution which is known worldwide


for its tremendous contribution in the field of agricultural and
scientific research and education. The university has really a good
pool of scientists, faculty, administrative and non academic staff [1].
In existing payroll system of PAU all the calculations are done by
clipper based system, it is not a fully computer based system. The
main disadvantage of this system is that majority of work is done by
hand. The whole procedure involving delivery of an employees pay
Payroll Monitoring System with Attendance and Leave Monitoring

Page 7

is very tedious, time consuming and frequent verification is required


so as to avoid the risk of human error.

3)

Proposed System: The proposed system is a web based

system [5]. The base of the proposed system is a da-tabase, which


stores all the information pertinent to personnel, allowances,
deductions, taxes, savings and net pay. The payroll system will stay
up to date with pay checks and tax filings [3]. This includes
calculating allow-ances, taxes and other deductions, printing
individual pay slips and deduction vouchers.

4)

The major operations performed by the proposed system

are shown in Table

This system generates reports of

CPF, GPF, NPS, House rent,


TWF, GIS, LIC and Faculty club.

Allows the users to search for

records by more than one


method: employee name or
college name or department
name.

5) Feasibility analysis: In the field of computer and technology, a


feasibility study should be conducted in order to see the benefits of
automation over manual system as well as other alternatives. In
current system the feasibil-ity study is based on research on both
the current practices and the proposed project and its impact on the
or-ganization operations. The feasibility study also includes
advantages and disadvantages of both the current sys-tem and the
proposed plan.

Schedule feasibility, a schedule is a list of events that must occur at


a specific period of time. In this proposed system the objective of
schedule feasibility is divide the task and time in proper way, then
implement and terminate it effectively. The schedule feasibility has
been decided at the time of synopsis submission by defining time
period for each step and the schedule work-flow diagram shows the
progress, the schedules of each process in a project and the total
project time.
Payroll Monitoring System with Attendance and Leave Monitoring

Page 10

Technical Feasibility means to investigate the technologies to be


used in proposed project. Some Tech-nology issues to be
considered for this project are: Performance, Ease of learning, Ease
of deployment, Ease of support, Interoperability with other
technologies, Scalability.

Economic feasibility, Economic analysis is the most frequently used


method for evaluating the effec-tiveness of a new system. More
commonly known as cost/benefit analysis, the procedure is to
determine the benefits and savings that are expected from a
proposed system and compare them with costs. If benefits outweigh costs, then the decision is made to design and implement the
system [4]. In the current system, the initial monetary costs of
development, the expected monetary costs of operating and
supporting the application, and the expected future monetary
benefits of using the application are identified to perform
cost/benefit analysis.

Operational feasibility means to maintain and support this proposed


system once it is in production. Here it is a measure of how well a
proposed system adds, updates the employee payroll record as per
the requirements iden-tified in the requirements analysis phase of
system development.

2.2.4 Payroll Philippines (PY-PH)


Purpose
-This component enables you to run payroll for all employees
in line with Philippine legal and business requirements.

Implementation Considerations
-The SAP HR Payroll Philippines component must be
implemented in cooperation with the project team
implementing other areas of SAP Human Resources (HR), in
particular Personnel Administration.

Payroll Monitoring System with Attendance and Leave Monitoring

Page 22

Integration
-The SAP HR Payroll Philippines component is integrated
with other SAP HR components such as Personnel
Administration and Personnel Time Management. There are
interfaces to Financial Accounting and Controlling, and you
can run payroll using a combination of SAP and third-party
products.
Features
-The component uses data from other areas of SAP HR to
calculate statutory and non-statutory additions and
deductions for your employees. SAP Payroll offers a number
of standard reports used in payroll, taxation, Pag-IBIG, and
social security contribution calculations. In addition to
standard payroll functions, payroll processing for the
Philippines comprises the following country-specific functions:

Taxation

Social Security System (SSS)

Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF)

PhilHealth (NHIP)

Multiple and bonus payroll runs

13th and Nth month payments

Deduction priorities

changes to master data and time data in periods for which


payroll has been completed.
Constraints
In the Personal Data infotype (0002), the Second name field
is used for the employee's middle name in the Philippines.

Payroll in the SAP System


Purpose
You can use this component to calculate the remuneration for
work done for each employee.However, Payroll does not just
involve the calculation of remuneration, but consists of a
variety of processes that are becoming increasingly important
due to the employers increased obligation to supply benefits
and medical welfare. These benefits are products of:
Labor law
Tax law
Contribution law
Benefits law
Civil law
Reporting law
Information law
Statistics law
Integration
Payroll can be integrated in Personnel Administration, Time
Management, Incentive Wages and Accounting:
Payroll Monitoring System with Attendance and Leave Monitoring

Page 24

Standardized data retention enables you to use master data


and
other
payroll
relevant
data
from Personnel
Administration.
Time data, entered via Time Management, is automatically
included in the Payroll and is valuated during the payroll run.
Data from the Incentive Wages component is used to
calculate piecework wages and premium wages directly
in Payroll.
Information on expenses and payables from Payroll is
posted for accounting directly in Financial Accounting, and
you assign the costs to the appropriate cost center. You can
also control the financial system of third-party providers.
Features
The System calculates the gross and net pay, which
comprises the individual payments and deductions that are
calculated during a payroll period, and are received by an
employee. These payments and deductions are included in
the calculation of the remuneration using different wage types
[Ext.]. After the remuneration payroll you can carry out
various subsequent activities, for example, you can see to
remuneration payment or the creation of various lists, and
make evaluations.

Payroll Basics (PY-XX-BS)


Purpose
The Payroll is based on an international payroll driver. This
payroll driver was modified for each country. The countryspecific payroll drivers take the statutory and administrative
regulations of a country into account. Since the payroll driver
has a modular structure, you can use the Customizing
functions to quickly modify the payroll procedure to meet the
particular requirements of your enterprise.
Process Flow

Payroll Monitoring System with Attendance and Leave Monitoring

Page 25

When you access Payroll, the payroll driver calls the


accompanying payroll schema, which consists of a sequence
of functions. For each activity, the individual functions import
data from internal tables and payroll relevant files.
Payroll is then performed as follows:
1. The system updates the databases and imports the master
data relevant to payroll.
2. If Off-Cycle Payroll [Page 131] is to take place, the system
deletes the internal table IT.
3. The system imports the last payroll result.
4. The system calculates the gross wage and considers the
shift schedule, shift change compensation, and valuation
bases. Any master data relevant to payroll is included in the
calculation at this point.
5. The system calculates the partial period factors, lump
sums and salary elements, and cumulates the gross results.
6. The system calculates the net remuneration and performs
retroactive accounting if specific master data has been
changed in previous payroll periods
Result
After the payroll run, you can transfer the payroll results
to Financial Accounting, or perform evaluations and create
lists and statistics.

Payroll Driver
Definition
Special report for Payroll. SAP has developed countryspecific payroll drivers, which are based on report
RPCALCx0. With country-specific reports the penultimate
character in the name refers to the country indicator (for
example, D for Germany, F for France).
Use
Payroll Monitoring System with Attendance and Leave Monitoring

Page 26

Report RPCALCx0 can calculate periodic payments and also


off-cycle payroll runs. However, this report does not include
tax and social insurance data for net wage calculations. The
country specific payroll drivers contain this data.
Integration
Calculation rules and other reports are stored in an
accompanying schema [Page 22] which also contains the
activities carried out by the payroll driver during payroll. All
data is stored in internal tables [Page 24] and saved in files
[Page 23] with a cluster structure.

Payroll Schema
Definition
The payroll schema contains calculation rules to be used by
the payroll driver [Page 21] during payroll. SAP has
developed country-specific schemas which are based on
schema X000. With country-specific reports, the first
character in the name refers to the country indicator (for
example, D for Germany, F for France).

Structure
A schema consists of the following parts:
Initialization
The system performs the following steps:
Updates the databases
Imports required infotypes
Gross calculation of pay
The system performs the following steps:
Processes basic data and time data
Payroll Monitoring System with Attendance and Leave Monitoring

Page 27

Queries off-cycle payroll runs


Reads payroll account of the last period accounted
Processes time data and calculates the individual gross
values
Performs factoring
Net calculation of pay
The system performs the following steps:
Calculates net remuneration
Performs bank transfers
Integration
All data is stored in internal tables and saved in files with a
cluster structure.
Payroll Relevant Files
Definition
Payroll files contain data for payroll and payroll results.
Structure
The system requires the following files for payroll:
Pnnnn (nnnn = number of the info type)
The Pnnnn files contain data that has been entered in the
respective info types for an employee.
PCL1
The PCL1 file contains primary information, in other words,
data from the master data and time recording systems.
PCL2
The PCL2 file contains secondary information, in other words,
derived data and all generated schemas.
Integration
Payroll Monitoring System with Attendance and Leave Monitoring

Page 28

When you start payroll, the system imports the relevant


master data from the Pnnn files (for example, basic pay and
tax class) and imports the time data from the PCL1 file to the
IT table. The system imports the payroll results from the
previous month from table ORT (for example, to form
averages). The system processes this data and saves the
payroll results and generated schemas in the PLC2 file.

Internal Tables
Definition
Internal tables store data during payroll. The system imports
data to these tables and used them to calculate new data.
This data is then also saved in internal tables.
.

Structure
At the start of the payroll run, the system reads the values
from the results tables to the old results table (ORT). Data
from the previous period is, therefore, available in the current
payroll period.
The most important internal tables are:
