CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
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 technics is now being implemented electronically. Payroll is not an exemption. Implementation of this in Caleb University is the goal of this work.
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 Caleb University Payroll System (CALPAS) is the goal of this work. The department uses 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 university.
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 university Other problems caused by the manual payroll system are:
i. Inconsistence data entry, prone to errors information. ii. Cost of training employee on payroll is expensive iii. Reduction in sharing information and customer services. iv. It is time consuming and costly in reports production.
v. Data is not secure. vi. 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 university.
1.3. Aim and Objectives
The aim of this study is to develop a computerized payroll system for Caleb University. The specific objectives are to:
i. design a computerized payroll system for Caleb University Imota Lagos State. ii. implement the designed payroll system in (i) iii. 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 Caleb University, Imota Lagos if successfully implemented. Manual payroll systems in Caleb University will be totally eliminated with CALPAS in place.
1.5. Scope of the Study
The payroll system is developed for Caleb University only and might not fit into other similar systems perfectly and would be called CALPAS (Caleb University Payroll System).
1.6. Definition of Terms
