Abstract
Abstract A system for managing payroll data and human resource data for employees. The payroll data includes an employee-type and a plurality of payroll codes, and the human resource data includes an employee-identifier for each of the employees, a salary for each employee, and a plurality of HR codes. The system stores the payroll data and the human resource data receives user input including a pay period, selects human resource data for certain employees based upon predetermined criteria, stores the selected human resource data in in-progress tables, and generates a payroll by matching the employee-type for each employee with the employee-identifier and using the pay period and the salary for each employee.
