Payroll system

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A payroll system (also payroll system ) is a system that for automated billing of wages , salaries and expenses (for example, travel expenses, food costs ) is used.

architecture

A payroll system typically uses the three-tier architecture . In the data layer, the necessary employee data is saved, movement data and accounting data. This data is evaluated in the application layer by various components in order to calculate the wage. To complete the process, the newly calculated data is sent to an evaluation component, which usually forwards it to other services. The top layer usually offers a surface for entering and reading out data.

Functionality

With the data available, the payroll system can calculate the gross and net wages for each employee, save it and make it available for other purposes. Other required functions are: On the one hand, the worker must be able to inspect. This requires an account that can also be reached outside of the company network, as well as a suitable website or application with all the important, required information.

Use in teleworking

A payroll system plays an important role in teleworking in particular , as it can take on additional functions there. The employees here mostly work from home and have to manually enter their hours or check in online. The system should make this possible in the simplest possible way and then give the chairperson appropriate insight so that the performance can be confirmed from home.
