In accounting, payroll refers to the amount paid to employee for services they provided curing a certain period of time. Payroll plays a major role in a company for several reasons. From an accounting perspective, payroll is crucial because payroll and payroll taxes considerably affect the net income of most companies and they are subject to laws and regulations.(Wikipedia, 2012) Pacific Nickel Philippines Inc. is having a specific problem with their system procedd that involved calculations and recording of essential data. For that matter, the proponents decided to build up a system in which it will try to solve this kind of problem. Then, there would be less, efforts to be done and no more unorganized flow of processing. For this reason, the proponents come up with a payroll system that will manipulate the information receive and transmitted to produce an efficient and effective process that can be use by the Pacific Nickel Philippines Inc.
The main purpose of the study id to enhance and implement payroll system for Pacific Nickel Philippines Inc. which will operate in a timely and accurate manner to ensure that employees receive their pay checks accordingly. To compute the gross and net wages and salaries of all employees, to produce pay slips and checks. Employees appreciate a timely payroll system as well: it reduces anxiety about receiving checks on time and any anxiety about receiving a check for the wrong amount. The following are the specific objectives of the proposed study: To be able to keep and generate accurate reports on employee income. To automatically calculate the check amount based on the hours worked. To be able to do work more easier. To create fast and easy access in processing the records.
Research Objectives
This research is made to aid individuals and the Pacific Nickel Philippines Inc. which is undertaking a time consuming manual process to meet their regulatory requirements and to provide a basis for the initial approaches include in processes of the whole system.

Chapter 2
A computerized payroll system is when the employer purchases payroll software and uses it as her means to0 process a payroll system. Some companies hire an in-house payroll system. The payroll staff is responsible for entering all wages to be paid into the system. The system computes the wages, stores payroll information, and print checks. The payroll professional can also access payroll reports, which allows him o check for errors and correct them before he employee receives her paycheck. Computerized payroll system also reduces the amount of paperwork to be filed, as most of the payroll information can be stored in the system.(ehow, 2000). The payroll system is design o produce payroll checks with appropriate withholdings, benefits, allowances, and deductions for employees in multiple companies, departments and /or sub-departments. It has been designed to handle up o 1,000,000 employees in 100 companies, 1000 departments in each company, and 36 sub-departments in each departments.(TITUS Information System, inc., 2008). A computerized payroll system is typically used by medium to large scale businesses. It saves a lot of time and decreases the chances of generating errors. Of course, as an employer, you wouldnt want to overpay. With this kind of software, you can input all the payroll infos and year-end reporting quickly and accurately. It also achieves payslips and annual reports in case youre going to need them later.(blogspot, 2011). Payroll system reduces employer cost, liability, and administrative burden through integrated solutions. Advantages include: Flexible and comprehensive solutions that organize, integrate, and simplify complex business process. Liability reduction through diligent compliance syystems, support and oversight. Accurate and reliable processing and reporting. Secure data management and transactions. (payroll-us,2003)
The computerized payroll system save time and money, theyre very easy to use and theyre also very practical. There are different types of payroll software systems, with various features, functions or advantages. And of course, the price will also vary according to the type of software. All programs, however, include essential features for storing employee information, files and track records, and will enable unauthorized user to enter, view or change information anytime. Basic features include paycheck processing, direct deposit options, payroll reports, tax reports, deductions, quarterly and annual ware reports, and many others.(EzineArticle,2012).
