NARRATIVE When employees are hired, they submit a new employee form to the human resources department. When a change to an existing employee's payroll status occurs, such as a raise or a change in the number of exemptions, the human resources department completes an employee change form. The information from both forms is entered into the human resources system. The forms are stored in the employee records file cabinet by employee name. Some employees are paid a salary, but most are hourly workers who record their time on timecards. At the end of each payroll period, department managers send the timecards to the payroll clerk. The payroll clerk enters the timecard data into the payroll program which creates new payroll transaction records and a payroll edit report. The payroll clerk reviews the payroll edit report to make sure all hourly employees submitted timecards. If someone did not, the payroll clerk contacts the department manager. The payroll clerk prints three copies of the payroll register. The first copy is sent to the owner of the company who reviews it for reasonableness before signing off on it and sending it back to the payroll clerk to confirm that the payroll process should continue. The second copy of the payroll register is sent to the accounts payable clerk who prepares the payroll transfer request using the accounts payable program which updates the accounts payable transaction file and sends the request to the bank. The payroll clerk files the third copy with the timecards in the payroll register file cabinet by date
