 INTRODUCTION

A management information system (MIS) is a computerized database of

financial information organized and programmed in such a way that it
produces regular reports on operations for every level of management in
a company. It is usually also possible to obtain special reports from the
system easily. The main purpose of the MIS is to give managers
feedback about their own performance; top management can monitor the
company as a whole. Information displayed by the MIS typically shows
"actual" data over against "planned" results and results from a year
before; thus it measures progress against goals. The MIS receives data
from company units and functions. Some of the data are collected
automatically from computer-linked check-out counters; others are
keyed in at periodic intervals. Routine reports are preprogrammed and
run at intervals or on demand while others are obtained using built-in
query languages; display functions built into the system are used by
managers to check on status at desk-side computers connected to the
MIS by networks. Many sophisticated systems also monitor and display
the performance of the company's stock.

the world rely on ADP's cloud software and expert insights to help unlock the
potential of their people. HR. Talent. Benefits. Payroll. Compliance. Working

ADP Payroll Tutorial

ADP offers various payroll software packages geared toward small, medium and large business
owners who process payrolls. They offer EasyPayNet for small business owners with one to 49
employees, PC Payroll and Pay eXpert for mid-sized business owners with 50 to 999
employees and ADP Pro Business for business owners who have 1,000 or more employees.
One good thing about ADP is that even though they offer a range of different payroll processing
software packages for different sized companies, ADP has made it easy to switch from one
ADP product to another because all of their interfaces are similar in functions.

Step 1

Log in to your ADP payroll and start a new cycle. Before you can begin entering any
payroll information, you will need to start a new payroll cycle and verify that the payroll
dates are accurate.

9
Step 2

Make sure that the payroll processing end date and the pay date are the correct dates
for the payroll that you are processing, and that you are processing payroll for the
correct company code. Generally companies will have more than one company code.
For instance, a company will use one code for salaried employees and another
company code for hourly employees. When you log in to ADP, it will start on the default
company code, which should be the first company code for your company. Company
codes are normally listed in ascending order.

Step 3

Click on the Employee tab and select "New" to input any new hire information for
employees that were newly hired during the current payroll cycle. ADP will assign them
the next employee number that is available. Make sure you enter direct deposit
information as well as tax information for the employees.

Step 4

If you do not enter their tax information from their W4, ADP will default to "Single 0" for
the Federal tax exemption.

Step 5

Enter any changes for a current employee by selecting the employee number, the
employee name or the Social Security number. This function can be found under the
employee tab by clicking on "Open." You can make changes to employees' addresses,
rate information, and direct deposit information, deduction information such as uniform
deductions, dues, insurance, 401K and categories.

Step 6

You can also change an employee's tax information as well. This payroll function is
called employee maintenance.

10
Step 7

Input your employees payroll information either by importing an Excel spreadsheet that
has been saved as a CSV file with all the pertinent information such as employee
number, employee rate and amount of hours worked, or select Pay data from the ADP
menu and choose the ADP grid, select the employees you want to pay and manually
enter the payroll information. Make sure to save anything that you input.

Step 8

Create your payroll files after you have verified that the hours entered are correct, and
you've made any necessary edits.

Step 9

Send your payroll files to ADP for processing. This is the final step in the payroll
processing procedure. Once you have sent your payroll files they will process your
payroll and overnight the payroll to you. Your payroll package will include the paychecks
and a CD that contains your payroll reports.
