Below is a narrative for the "Pay employees" portion (bubble 4.0) of the payroll process described in Chapter 14

Question

Narrative Description



Validated attendance time records initiate the payment to workers in process 4.0 (Pay employees). In calculating employees' gross and net pay, Process 4.1 (Prepare paychecks) retrieves data from both the employee/payroll master data and the tax rates data. Process 4.1 accumulates current, quarter-to-date, and year-to-date totals for each employee and reports this information via the data flow "Payroll register." This information also is used to update the employee/payroll master data. Finally, process 4.1 prints and distributes paychecks to employees as reflected in the "Employee paychecks" data flow.



The data flow "Payroll register" triggers process 4.2 (Prepare disbursement voucher). This will result in a data flow for the GL disbursement voucher update and a data flow for the disbursement voucher. Process 4.3 (Prepare payroll transfer check) and sends the check to the bank to cover the organization's periodic net payroll.
