You have recently started a new job as a payroll clerk at Taihape Tough Ltd (TTL), a company that makes reinforced gumboots for use in the agriculture industry. The payroll process is explained to you as follows:

• Workers fill in daily timesheets, which are signed off at the end of each shift by a supervisor. At the end of the week, supervisors collect all the timesheets and enter them into the online Human Resources terminal.
• The following Monday the payroll clerk retrieves the timesheet information and pay rates from the HR system and calculates pay and deductible liabilities. This is checked by a colleague before the clerk updates the appropriate tables, prepares a disbursement voucher for the amounts to be paid, and sends this to the cashier.
• The cashier checks whether the payroll account has sufficient funds and if it does not, they pay the wages and other liabilities directly from the main cheque account. If it has sufficient funds, they use the payroll account to deposit pay into the workers’ bank accounts and pay liabilities to relevant authorities.
• Finally, the cashier updates the appropriate tables and the payroll clerk emails payslips to the workers.
