THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
Today, the increase of academic world as part of global entity ushers the
increase demand of employee hiring. On of the problems that will arise is the
reliability of payroll, in which it will respond to the immediate demands and needs
of human resources and “ using manual sustem is not efficient and costs saved on
2006).
used a payroll debit card. The employee accesses the money by using the card at
any ATM machine but processing their payroll is done by using Dos-based
system.
SYSTEM” that hopefully will lessen the numerous tasks done by the faculty and
The result of the study and development of the system will specifically
benefit each faculty, staff of the university and other readers and researchers. The
Each faculty and staff will be assured of fewer potential mistakes when it
comes in processing payroll. They don’t need to fill out forms every time
they will need to pass payroll reports. The data based will save all the
needed information; it will also calculate their payroll including taxes and
development may use the proposed system as their guide for future
development.
Theoretical Framework
Ask any small business about his or her least favorite task and most will say
without having to fine a synapse – payroll. This tedious process requires you to
identify and fill out forms, keep ever changing regulations and understand cryptic
abbreviations. Then there are killer deadlines, complete with significant fines for

The second influential factor is Microsoft Access under DBMS; Access is used
creation and manipulation of data. Access can be used as a database for basic web
utilizing Microsoft Active Server Pages. Most typical web application should tools

And the third factors is ASP – An Active Server Page (ASP) is an HTML page
that includes one or more scripts (small embedded programs) that are processed on
a Microsoft Web server before the page is sent to the user. An ASP is somewhat
in that all involve programs that run on the server, usually tailoring a page for the
user. (e.g.

Conceptual Framework
The paradigm of the study, shown in figure in figure 1, shows the Input –
The input phase includes the existing system used by the faculty and staff
of the university; it was used as one of the baseline data for the proposed system.
In the process phase, the study will use ASP (Classic) – Active Server
complied in order to run. Instead, the program code is parsed, interpreted and
the other hand, the MS ACCESS plays the role of the storage which is the
additional development phase of the proposed system. In this phase, the gathered
data in the input phase is stored. Once the loop is completed the data could reused
And in the output phase, PROPOSED SYSTEM has been presented. The
Definition of terms
The following terms are operationally defined by the researchers for better
understanding and clarity:
Accuracy; It is the exactness of information, a state of being or précis.
ATM Automated teller machine; a cash dispenser or cash machine.
ASP Active Server Pages; is a scripted language which means that it doesn’t have
to be compiled in order to run.
Efficiency; is used to describe several desirable properties of an algorithm or other
construct, besides clean design, functionally.
Reliability; maintainability, safety test plans and procedures.
Security; is the condition of being protected against danger or loss.
User friendly; is an online staff of a small fictional internet service provider.
Scope
The study was intended to develop an online payroll system that can be
used by the faculty and staff of the Bulacan Polytechnic College. The proposed
system was limited only to the BPC Main Campus, Bulihan City of Malolos,
Bulacan. The system was also limited to the payroll sub-system.
The chapter presents the research methods and techniques, target clientele,
design features of the Online Payroll System for the University of Bulacan
olytechnic College and development process of the OPS – BPC.
Methods and Techniques
In order to develop the BPC – OPS, researcher will utilize Descriptive
Development Technique Research Method.
This type of research is also a grouping that includes many particular
research methodologies and procedures, such as observations, surveys, self-
reports, and tests. Descriptive research may focus on individual subjects and go
into great depth and detail in describing them. It also investigates large groups of
subjects. The four parameters of research will help us understand how descriptive
research in general is similar to, and different from, other types of research. In
addition, the data collection procedures used in descriptive research may be very
explicit.
Target Clientele
The development of the OPS – URC 3was designed for the finance
department for payroll services. More over, the system was also developed for the
staff and faculty of the university.

Maintenance
The first phase is system engineering and analysis, where the researchers
recognized and diagnosed the problem and also gathered requirement.
The second phase is software requirement analysis, where gathering was
continued. The researchers conducted interviews and analyzed the documents and
data requirements.
The third phase is design, where the requirement was translated into a
representation of software.
The fourth phase is coding, where the design is translated into machine
readable form.
The fifth phase is testing; where the programs were tested to ensure that
they meet the design specification.
The final phase is maintenance, which is regularly done such updating
databases and accommodating changes.
The development of the said online system requires conceptual software
design like SDLC, in order to create the system researchers will use ASP Classic
as the system front-end and MS Access as the system back-end, with the
combination of software, hardware and people ware, this method can produce an
online payroll that is secured, accurate, user friendly, efficient and reliable.
The score in the scale was the average of the weights assigned to the
particular response made by the experts. To interpret the rating of experts on the
scale, the following intervals and their corresponding descriptions for acceptability
were used
Intervals Description
The data was subjected to a test for the statistical mean of all criteria. To
facilitate computation and treatment of data, the SPSS

This chapter presents, analyzes and interprets the data gathered by the
researchers. It also presents the profile of the respondents that evaluated OPS-
URC.
The summary of the output is tabled at the end of this chapter to distinguish
the acceptability of the proposed system.
The interviewee cited that the current payroll system was not
capable of processing updated files. She also stated that sometimes
there are errors occurring in run time.
4. What are the basic features of the proposed system?
5.1 Accuracy
One of the important aspects of all functional web-
applications and stand-alone applications is the accuracy of database,
the data collection and its presentation. It is what makes any
applications of all genres useful in the present knowledge society.

5.2 Efficiency
The efficient delivery of information throughout the web-
based system is another strategic criterion in Web application
development. Table 2 shows the weighted mean and description of
the expert’s response on the efficiency of the OPS-URC.
