 ABSTRACT

In our institute process of salary slip generation done manually by an admin. Admin uses
Microsoft excel for maintaining all information related to faculties salary and salary slip
generation. But using Microsoft excel for such task makes overall process more time
consuming and error prone as lots of manual work has to be done by admin. Payroll
management system will be used for maintaining and monitoring salary slip generation
process of faculties within institute. The primary objective of system is to maintain details
of various allowances, tax, deductions and increments that need to be given to the
faculties of the organization. System enables faculties to view or print their salary slip of
particular month or year. Using this system admin can generate salary slip and perform
pay bill calculation according to the salary structure assigned to individual faculty
efficiently and timely manner. If faculties have any query related to salary slip or have
any other queries, they can ask to admin about query and admin resolve query.

Chapter 1: Introduction

1.1 Project Summary

Payroll management system deals with the maintenance of salary slip generation
.faculties do registration. In registration process faculties add their personal and bank
account related details. Faculties can update their profile. For administration login,
separate username and password will be provided. Admin will add salary details of each
faculties and system will calculate salary based on increments, deduction and other salary
details. Salary slip will be generated month wise by system. Faculties will view their
salary slip of particular month or year with login into their account and also can print their
salary slip. At the end of the year salary report will be generated for specific criteria. If
faculties have any query related to salary slip or have any other queries, they can ask to
admin about query and admin resolve query.

1.2 Purpose
The purpose of developing Payroll Management System is that Payroll management
system will be used for maintaining and monitoring salary slip generation process of a
faculty within institute. The primary objective of system is to maintain details of various
allowances, tax, deductions and increments that need to be given to the faculties of the
organization. Using this system user can generate salary slip and perform pay bill
calculation according to the salary structure assigned to individual faculty efficiently and
timely manner.
1.3 Scope
The payroll management system is basically a web application which is a software
program which a user access over an internal network, or via the internet through a web
browser. This web application is built for automatic calculation of salary and generates
salary slip of faculties. It will generate month wise salary slips based on various
allowances, tax, deductions and increments. It enables faculties to view or print their
salary slip of particular month or year. It enables faculties to send query to admin related
to salary details or salary slip and admin give response related to query. It will generate
reports at the end of the year.
1.4 Report Outline

Chapter 2: Literature Review

2.1 Existing System

₋ Presently in our institute process of salary slip generation is done manually it
takes much of time to compose salary slip of all faculties. We are also
Maintaining all these information on paper and also Pay slips are to be generated
and distributed manually due to these manual processes sometime it delays the
pay bill generation which is very crucial. In the process of salary slip generation
we need to maintain details of various allowances, tax, deductions, increments and
leaves given to faculty of institute. The other main problem is error, even with the
double cross check there some errors will happen which creates large problem.
We use Microsoft excel to store all information and for salary calculation of all
faculties. Microsoft excel is very time consuming and all calculation cannot to be
done automatically. The data they collect from faculty must be input in excel and
they may need to manually enter data into multiple locations to process payroll.

2.2 Problems in existing system

₋ In Our institute we are using Microsoft Excel for maintaining all the information
and for salary calculation so there is inadequate security especially for private
information if we process faculties payroll on Microsoft excel. The use of
Microsoft excel to process payroll will result in the quick accumulation of
multiple sheet and files as we need different document for faculties information
and other data. In Microsoft excel a single erroneous entry could result in a
completely inaccurate record and finding the source of the error would be time
consuming and complex process.
₋ When the records are changed they need to update each and every excel file. Even
performing salary calculation manually for different category faculty increases the
possibilities of mistakes and errors in pay bill generation process.
2.3 Problem Solution:
₋ To solve above stated problem we develop “Payroll Management System”.
Payroll management system will be used for maintaining and monitoring salary
slip generation process of faculties within institute. The primary objective of
system is to maintain details of various allowances, tax, deductions and
increments that need to be given to the faculties of the organization. Using this
system user can generate salary slip and perform pay bill calculation according to
the salary structure assigned to individual employee efficiently and timely
manner.
₋ In our system an unauthorized person cannot access any information. Our system
will store all records in one place and the different process can be seamlessly
integrated with one other. As our system perform all calculation automatically so
there is no possibility of occur any error. As all information of faculties are stored
in our system so it reduces paper works also. Using our system all faculties can
view their salary slip and reports and they can also print their salary-slip
themselves. Even performing salary calculation manually for different category
faculty, there is no possibilities of mistakes and errors in pay bill generation
process.

3.1 Project Planning and scheduling

3.1.1Project Development Approach

Iterative waterfall model

Iterative development is a way of breaking down the software development of a large
application into smaller chunks. In iterative development, feature code is designed,
developed and tested in repeated cycles. With each iteration, additional features can be
designed, developed and tested until there is a fully functional software application ready
to be deployed to customers.

The iterative waterfall model provides feedback paths from every phase to its preceding
phases, which is the main difference from the classical waterfall model.

Feedback paths introduced by the iterative waterfall model are shown in the figure below.

Figure 1: iterative model

When errors are detected at some later phase, these feedback paths allow correcting errors
committed by programmers during some phase. The feedback paths allow the phase to be
reworked in which errors are committed and these changes are reflected in the later
phases. But, there is no feedback path to the stage – feasibility study, because once a
project has been taken, does not give up the project easily.

Why we use this model for our system.

₋ Iterative waterfall model is very simple to understand and use.

₋ Requirements of the complete system are clearly defined and understood.

₋ Major requirements must be defined; however, some details can evolve with time

₋ In iterative model we are building and improving the software step by step.

₋ In iterative waterfall model feedback path from one phase to its preceding phase
allows correcting the errors that are committed and these changes are reflected in
the later phases.

4.2 Non-functional requirements

Efficiency: Our payroll management system reduces time spent on processing employee
information, salaries, tax and other information. The efficiency of this system realised
when salaries related or other information is sought and need not be found manually in a
separate or paper based system. It takes less time to generate payslip.

Data Security: Our system does not allow data unauthorized person access to data that
includes their personal and banking details. Our system provide a password protected
environment by which only authorized person can view their personal and other
information related detail.

Accuracy: as the number of faculties rises, so will the paper work need to be done .The
higher the quantity the higher the risk of human error. Payroll system provides
automation of entire process. It provides accurate salary calculation and other
information.

Reduce complexity: process of salary slip generation is done manually and maintaining
all these information on paper that increases complexity. Due this complexities errors also
increases. The use of MS excel to process payroll will result in the quick accumulation of
multiple sheets and files as we need different document for faculties information and
other data that also increases complexity. Using our system salary slip generates
automatically and all other information stores at one place so there is no possibility to
increases any complexity.

Chapter 5: System Analysis

5.1 Feasibility Study

The Feasibility analysis is designed to determine whether or not, given the project
environment, a project will be successful. A feasibility analysis may be conducted for a
project with emphasis on financial viability, environmental integrity, cultural
acceptability, or political practicability. It is determination of a success and a description
of how that determination should be achieved.

It makes analysis of different aspects like cost required for developing and executing the
system, the required for each phase of the system and so on. It helps identifying the risk
factors involved in developing and deploying the system and helps in planning for risk
analysis. If these important factors are not analyzed then definitely it would have impact
on the organization and the development and the system would be a total fail.

5.1.1 Technical Feasibility

Technical feasibility is center around the computer system such as hardware, software etc.
this is determining whether the available technical system is feasible to run our project or
no? Suppose current computer is operating at 80% load then additional hardware. And it
affects financial consideration to enhance this system .if budget is available then you can
enhance it. It is determining whether the current hardware and software is sufficient to
complete project work or not.
5.1.2 Economical Feasibility

Economic analysis is most used method for evaluating the effectiveness of system .this is
commonly known as cost/benefit analysis. The procedure is to determine the benefit and
compare them with cost, whether it is economically feasible or not? If yes, then the
decision is made to design and implement the system. It is determining whether software
is in budget to develop or not.

5.1.3 Operational Feasibility

The System Working is quite easy to use and learn due to its simple but attractive
interface. User requires no special training for operating the system. Technical
performance include issues such as determining whether the system can provide the right
information for the Department personal faculty details, and whether the system can be
organized so that it always delivers this information at the right place and on time using
internet services. Acceptance revolves around the current system and its personnel.
5.2 Function of System
5.2.1Use Case Diagram
The requirements of a system can be captured by use case diagrams. They are modeled to
capture the intended behavior of the system. Use cases interact with human or actors that
use the system to accomplish some work. They define a set of sequence of actions that a
system performs to yield an observable result of value to an actor. An actor represents a
role that a human, a hardware device or another system plays with the system.

Use cases are used to a common understanding with the systems end users and the
domain experts. The purpose of use case diagram is to Captured the dynamic aspect of a
system. The use cases do not mention any specific algorithm to be used or the internal
data representation, internal structure of the software etc.

Figure 2 : use case diagram

5.3 Data Modeling
5.3.1Class Diagram

A class diagram in is a type of static structure diagram that describes the structure of a
system by showing the system's classes, their attributes, operations (or methods), and
the relationships among objects. A class is a set of objects that share a common structure
and common behavior. A class is an abstraction of real world items. When these items
exist in the real world they are instances of the class and are referred to as objects the
attribute and operation sections of the class box can be suppressed to reduce detail in an
overview. Suppressing a section makes no statement. Absence of attributes or operations,
but drawing an empty section explicitly states that there is no element in that part.

Classes:

 Classes represent and abstraction of entities with common characteristics.

 Associations represent the relationship between classes.

Active Classes:

 Active classes initiate and control the flow of activity, while passive classes stores
data and serve other classes.

Visibility:

 Use visibility markers to signify who can access the information contained within
class.

Association:

 Association represents static relationship between classes.

Figure 3 : class diagram
5.3.2E-R Diagram

An entity relationship diagram shows the relationships of entity sets stored in a database.
An entity in this context is a component of data. In other words, ER diagrams illustrate
the logical structure of database.

When documenting a system or process, looking at system in multiple ways increases the
understanding of that system. ERD diagram are commonly used in conjunction with a
data flow diagram to display the contents of data store. They help us to visualize how data
is connected in a general way, and are the particularly useful for constructing a relational
database. In the context of structured analysis, the ERD defines all data that are entered,
stored, transferred, and produced within an application.

ERD is detailed logical representation of the data of any system has three main element:
Object, Attribute, and their Relationship.
Figure 4 : ER Diagram
5.3.3 Activity diagram

Activity diagrams are graphical representations of workflows of stepwise activities and

actions with support for choice, iteration and concurrency. In the UML, activity diagrams
are intended to model both computational and organizational processes. Activity
diagrams shows the overall flow of control.

Arrows run from start towards the end and represent the order in which activities happen.

Figure 5: Activity Diagram

5.4 Functional and Behavioral Modeling
5.4.1Data Flow Diagram

A data flow diagram illustrates how data is processed by a system in terms of input and
outputs. As its name indicates its focus is on the flow of information, where data comes
from, where it goes and how it gets stored.

DFD Layers:

Draw data flow diagrams can be made in several nested layers. A single process node on
high level diagram can expanded to show a more detailed data flow diagram. Draw the
context diagram first, followed by various layers of data flow diagrams.

DFD Levels:

The first level DFD shows the main processes within the system. Each of these processes
can be broken into further processes until you reach pseudo code.

7.2 Testing:

Software testing is defined as an activity to check whether the actual results match
the expected results and to ensure that the software system isDefect free. It involves
execution of a software component or system component to evaluate one or more
properties of interest.software testing is an investigation conduct to provide
stackholders with information about the quality of the software product or service
under test. software testing can also provide an objective, independent view of the
software to allow the business to appreciate and understand the risks of software
implementation.

 In general, these properties indicate the extent to which the component

or system under test
 meets the requirement that guided its design and development,
 responds correctly to all kinds of inputs,
 performs its function within an acceptable time,
 is sufficiently usable,
 can be installed and run in its intended environments, and
 Achieves the general result its stakeholder’s desire.

The box approach

Software testing also helps to identify errors, gaps or missing requirements in contrary to
the actual requirements. It can be either done manually or using automated tools. Some
prefer saying Software testing as a White Box and Black Box Testing.

White box testing

white box testing(also known as clear box testing, glass box testing, and transparent box
testing and structural testing, by seeing the source code) tests internal structures or
workings of a program, as opposed to the functionality exposed to the end-user. In white-
box testing, as internal perspective of the system, as well as programming skills, are used
to design test cases. The tester chooses inputs to exercise path through the code and
determine the appropriate outputs. This is analogous to testing nodes in a circuit, e.g.in-
circuit testing(ICT).

While white-box testing can be applied at the unit, integration and system levels of the
software testing process, it is usually done at the unit level. It can test paths within a
unit,
paths between units during integration, and between subsystems during a system-level
test.

Black box testing

BLACK BOX TESTING, also known as Behavioral Testing, is a software testing

method in which the internal structure/design/implementation of the item being tested
is not known to the tester. These tests can be functional or non-functional, though usually
functional.

The above Black-Box can be any software system you want to test. For Example, an
operating system like Windows, a website like Google, a database like Oracle or even
your own custom application. Under Black Box Testing, you can test these
applications by just focusing on the inputs and outputs without knowing their internal
code implementation.

This method is named so because the software program, in the eyes of the tester, is
like a black box; inside which one cannot see. This method attempts to find errors in
the following categories:

 Incorrect or missing functions

 Interface errors
 Errors in data structures or external database access
 Behavior or performance errors
 Initialization and termination errors

Chapter 8: Conclusion and Future work

Conclusion
Payroll management system project develop for an organization has been design
to achieve maximum efficiency and reduce the time taken to handle payroll activity. It is
design to replace an existing manual record system thereby reducing time taken for
calculation and for storing data. The system uses PHP as a front end and MySQL as back-
end for the database. The system is strong enough to withstand regressive daily operation
under conditions where database is maintain and cleared over certain time of span. The
implementation of system in the organization will considerably reduce the data entry time
and also provide readily calculated reports.

Future-Work
In payroll management system we can include tax calculation module for
faculties. So that faculties can add their proposed tax deduction details at the start of year.
Based on these details income tax value automatically calculated for every month
deduction in salary slip generation. In payroll management system we can also take into
consideration an important factor no of leaves for the calculation of salary by adding
module related to leave management.
