Every Friday, the shop foremen, collect the punch cards for their subordinates, review and approve them, and later deliver them to Sasha, the payroll clerk.
Sasha uses a stand-alone PC to record the employee earnings in the employee record and print a hard-copy payroll register. Once everything is in order, she sends one copy of the payroll register to Bobby, the staff in the accounting department. Afterwards, Sally will compile all punch cards and a copy of the payroll register together and file them in the payroll department in the ‘processed payroll’ file.
Bobby, who receives the payroll register, will review the document for accuracy and uses the department computer to record the transactions by posting them to general ledger accounts. He then prints the hard-copy cheques. Once completed, he signs the cheques and sends them to the foremen who distribute them to the employees. Finally, he files the payroll register in the department. At the end of every month, Bobby prepares a report for the top management for their evaluation and review.
