Sporting Gear Inc. (SGI), a sports apparel and equipment retailer, is considering the implementation of a new payroll system. as part of the preperation for the new system, they have asked you to document the company's payroll process and data flows. Vlad, the payroll manager, describes the system as follows:

The payroll processing at SGI is pretty simple. During the two-week pay period, time data are recorded by employees using timecards and clocks. at the end of the period, this information is then submitted by department managers to jenny, our payroll entry clerk. Jenny then enters the timecard data into a payroll file for processing. before the payroll file is processed for the current pay period, the human resources department sends information about personel changes, such as new employees and increases in pay rates. Jenny also enters the data into the payroll file.

Once jenny completes payroll data entry, I review the information and authorize the processing of paychecks in the current application. the data are then processed, and individual employee paychecks are generated. Josef, our treasurer, collects and sings the checks and delivers them to employees directly. Bob, our payroll clerk, produces a payroll report for the management team. Management confirms the accuracy of the report and files the report chronologically. Additionally, Bob produces federal and state tax withholding reports and distributes them to the appropriate governmental authorities.
