Payroll System Made Easy in Visual Basic

Payroll System was one of the most important tool of a company when it comes to accounting.
Computing salaries and wages when entered to a system is as easy as a drag and click but it depends on how it was designed by programmers. Programmers must be keen to analyze and considerate enough to see the flexibility of the system. Programmer must consider some like

1. Reference tables
  • Reference table to government tax, government given loans, Social Security, and other table that can be changed easily without getting into the source code must be imposed.

2. Loans or deductions
  • Computation through running balance is best practiced.

3. Bank Diskettes / Letters
  • Automating the bank diskettes must be considered for a quick bank transaction.

4. Government/Agency Remittances
  • Loan payments and remittances (tax payment and remittances) must be automated for a quick processing and submission to all agency concerned.

5. Reports
  • Options to print the desired forms (TAX Forms, etc) and shooting Preprinted Forms must also be considered. Exportable reports to different document formats must also be present.

6. User Interface
  • Design your user- interface as simple and as user friendly as possible for the user must
not be confused on the entries.


The most important thing is make your payroll compute accurately in order to avoid adjustments issues and misunderstanding.
