Payroll
Payroll is central to run a business successfully. It is the system through which the employee receives pay from employers for the work completed. Although payroll may seem simple at its core, the employee deduction makes it a complicated process. Employers are obliged to withhold government taxes and ensure that accurate funds are remitted to the correct government agencies. Moreover, it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that employers pay their premiums, such as insurances and depositing funds to the employee’s retirements accounts. Having an efficient payroll is essential to ensure that employees are paid consistently and accurately, which keeps employees satisfied and creates time for HR to focus on other critical tasks. The initial step to building a functioning payroll program for an organisation with offices spread across the country is to choose an architecture system that may accommodate that can accommodate the task.
A payroll system is which is designed to help employer systematically organize all the task related to employee taxes and payment. The functions including tracking hours, calculating wages, deductions, withholding taxes, completing the direct deposit, paying premiums to insurance, printing and delivering checks are complicated and time-consuming and thus the need for payroll system. Since the payroll system is automated, the employer needs to input a few details ad the rest are calculated automatically making it easier and time-saving.
The new payroll program will utilise the client/server architecture based on the use of thin clients running from a terminal server that will be located in the organization headquarters data centre. The new payroll application will reside in the application server, which will be communicating with the terminal server. The application server will, in turn, interact with the payroll database server. The central server computer will handle multiple client requests flawlessly. All computers will be registered to the company’s server through the Domain controller. When all the computers are in the domain, they will then be mapped to the server, which will enable the payroll application to read and write files stored in the central shared storage. This type of architecture is useful in that it promotes smooth connections between the offices spread across the country and the large data centre.
Moreover, this payroll system is suitable since it is characterized by scalable, secure and easy to use management system, which makes it easier to address the payroll complexities associated with a large organisation. Furthermore, the choice of client/server payroll architecture is influenced by the fact that it includes fault evaluation, simplified configuration operator workflow and enhanced troubleshooting functions. The system has a scalable network infrastructure, wireless connectivity and payroll system intelligence, which makes it a better choice for the large organisation with many offices.
Having the architecture which uses the Wide Area Network will help Avoid the connectivity and compatibility issues associated with the web-based system. Wide Area Network will play a critical role in architecture because data coming from multiple sources will be aggregated in a central point within the network and payroll system. WAN component in WAN payroll system ensures all the uses has connectivity with the payroll program and other applications which are linked to the WAN through local area network in different offices
