Introduction
Today in our generation, the innovation in technology is fast approaching there are many tools and techniques especially the creation of the computers. Computers are the most usable machine in our times, it can perform various task and operation like storing information in a digital format and execute a list of instructions.

Computers also enforce security to the information stored depending on the user. Thus making a safe and accurate storage and you can manage and monitor the data every transaction better rather than using a manual keeping of records.

Many businesses or company is engage in the world of technology because they think their business will become effective and efficient with the use of computer. Through the existence of technology, companies today prefer to use computerized system to its transaction in order to stay competitive. This have made companies and business entities to increase its profitability and as well as to limit its resources due to the help of modern technology. Technology also introduced local businesses not only to the national trade but also to the global market.

One of the systems used by these business entities is the computerized payroll system. Computerized payroll system is a personnel data file and records of the companies’ employees that generates necessary information in connection to his salaries and wages. A computerized payroll system will not only resolve difficult problems but also it will provide fast process and accurate calculation of the salary. Unlike on manual payroll system, there are possible errors that may encounter because calculations are made only by hand. Moreover, while with a manual payroll system you have to do everything yourself, a computerized payroll software will calculate automatically all pay frequencies, employee statutory deductions, contributions, and even bonuses. Basically, all you have to do is enter all the data upon which the deductions are based, and the system will handle everything else.

Computerized payroll system saves much time, resources and money that is favorable to the business itself. A computerized payroll system plays a very important role in keeping the record of the employee and monitoring their performance in the business.

Background of the Study

Larazi Junk Shop Enterprise started as a small business which is mainly engaged in buying and selling scrap materials such as bottles, metals, plastics, and papers. It was founded by a simple man named as Julius Larazi and his loving wife Teressa Larazi around October 1999, located at Brgy. Santo Tomas, Calauan, Laguna. These materials are then sold to larger companies. Their company reached its prosper as it became more popular on December 6, 1999, the birth of their daughter, Alyssa Larazi.

At first, the company has only a single truck that is used to transfer these scraps materials. And as time goes by, the said enterprise was able to gain profit by means of investing an appropriate sum of money and by the help of the owner’s relatives. Larazi had bought a track of land which serves as their warehouse that is use up to present in their business transactions. They also avail to buy five more trucks.

The said enterprise is currently using a manual system of payroll. Though companies’ accountants use computer application such as Microsoft Excel, they still need to gather necessary information to calculate the employees’ final computed salary. They use pads and calculator just to arrive at the each employee’s salary which is usually a slow process because it involves long hours of computation. It is time consuming, considering the fact that the time consumed maybe use by accountants to another important thing in connection to his duty in the company.

With this method, accuracy is also not being met due to negligence of some employees. In some instances, becomes the reason of fraud and data redundancy.

If this existing method be converted to an advanced payroll system, then, these problems can be lessened or even be eliminated. The time tracking of this system will provide more accurate information, and may result to a better working environment not only for the secretary but also in favor of the employees and the company’s management.

ANALYSIS

Objective of the study
In general, the study aims to provide and implement a better and enhanced computerized payroll system for the Larazi Junkshop. The system will also provide a convenience and more reliable information compare to its existing payroll system.

Specially, the enhanced Larazi Junkshop’s Payroll System must achieve the following:

1. To implement an accurate data for the computation of the salary

2. To enhance the record keeping of employees

3. To determine the differences of the current and proposed system

4. To determine the restrictions in accessing the records and information of the employees

5. To determine the cause/effect of the existing and proposed system

Scope and Limitation
The proposed study is only limited to the goal of providing computerized payroll system that has user-friendly interface and is able of generating weekly reports.

The said system can do an automated payroll system. Other than that, the system performs the employee maintenance as well as security options for the employees. It cannot generate a yearly report of payroll but only a monthly report. The system is not able of computing the advances of the employee, and so still requires manual calculation of the total net salaries.

The current payroll system can not generate weekly reports, transaction reports, and of low security and inaccurate data while the proposed/enhanced system will standardize all the required information.

The payroll system cannot perform the locking of payroll on the past months before the current one.

Chapter V
Structured Analysis
In this chapter it will discuss the difference between the proposed and existing system. In structured analysis there is a set of diagrams and graphical presentation that allows the analyst to build up a system design that is easily understood by the person who will use the system.

Description of Existing System
Technology has a big role in the world of business, in business institution than mainly use payroll. Nowadays computers have a large data computing capacity and also have data manipulating system. People believed that computer could use the traditional way of computing the salary computing and a great help to lessen the burden of secretary who computed the salary for the employee. The computer is being called the wonderful machine created by man because it process faster and gives accurate results in computing data in a small period of time.

The Larazi junkshop currently uses only a Microsoft excel for their payroll and employee information. The existing system can handle manual computation for the employee’s salary without using time tracking system they are only depending on their log book for the checking of attendance. On the other hand about the deduction, the SSS, Philhealth, Taxes for the BIR and for the cash advances are manually deduct by their secretary. Their currently using system cannot perform weekly and monthly reports they are only depending on the information based on their system.

Description of Proposed System

Technical Feasibility
Technology has a great influence on decision-making of a business. The technologies now a days can perform many task in short period of time, it can perform calculation, keeping of records and tracking of time of an employee. Having a good system on a company makes the transaction fast, accurate, including the security of information or files.

Visual Basic 6.0 out in mid 1998 enhanced in a number of areas including the ability to create LAN-based applications or systems. VB6 has been the most successful version in the history of Visual Basic, it has entered Microsoft’s ‘non-supported phase’ as of March 2008. Although the development environment is no longer supported, the runtime is supported on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7. Mainstream maintain for Microsoft VB 6.0 ended on March 31, 2005. Extended support ended in March 2008. In response, the Visual Basic user community expressed its grave concern and lobbied users to sign a petition to keep the product alive. Microsoft has so far refused to change their position on the matter.

A database management system (DBMS) is a software package with computer applications that control the creation, maintenance, and the use of database for a system. A system database is an integrated collection of data records, files, and other databases objects. It allows organizations to conveniently develop databases for various applications by database admin and other specialists. A DBMS allows different user application programs to concurrently access the same database. DBMSs may use a variety of database models, including relational and object model, to conveniently describe and support applications. Normally it support query languages, which are in fact high-level programming languages, dedicated database languages that considerably simplify writing database application programs. Database languages also simplify the database organization as well as retrieving and presenting information from it. A DBMS provides facilities for controlling data access, enforcing data integrity, managing concurrency control, retrieving the database after failures and restoring it from backup files, as well as maintaining the security of the database.

MySQL pronounced either “My S-Q-L” or “My Sequel,” is an open source relational database management system. It is based on the structure query language (SQL), that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. It is named for original developer Michael Widenius’s daughter “My”. The MySQL development project has made its source code available under the terms of the GNU (General Public License), as well as under a variety of proprietary agreements. MySQL is owned and sponsored by a single for-profit firm, the Swedish company MySQL AB, now owned by Sun Microsystems, a subsidiary of Oracle Corporation.

MySql is a Graphical User Interface software. It is created by the software development company Webyog, based in Bangalor, India and Santa Clara, California, United States. SQLyog v0.9 was first released for public in the year 2001 as a closed source free software after 8 months of development. SQLyog was a free software until v3.0 when it was made a commercial software. Starting from v5.2 SQLyog has been available as a (Open Source (GPL license) and free) Community Edition. Commercial editions are named Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate.
