System User Roles

System Administrator

The Architect. Responsible for creating the Payroll Period. They define the Month and Year in the system before any processing begins.

Employees & Clerks

The Document Providers. Both parties have the authority to upload required requirements (DTRs, Accomplishment Reports) into the digital queue.

Payroll Clerk

The Data Processor. Verifies submissions and encodes the specific work details: Rendered Hours, Tardiness, and Absences.

Accounting Unit

The Verifier & Adjuster. They audit the clerk's input and have the authority to apply changes, manage BIR/Tax requirements, and ensure statutory compliance.

Cashiering Unit

The Fulfiller. After final approval, they generate reports and disbursement data to ensure payments are processed correctly.

The Lifecycle of a Payroll Period

Phase 1: Preparation
Creation & Collection
  • Period Creation: Admin generates the period record (initial state).
  • Digital Filing: Employees and Clerks upload necessary documents.
  • Pre-Verification: Clerk tags documents as "Verified" to prepare the worksheet.
Phase 2: Processing
The Encoding Worksheet
  • Data Input: Clerk encodes Hours, Tardiness, and Absences.
  • Accounting Input: Accounting adjusts for BIR/Tax and other statutory deductions.
  • Submission: Period is locked and forwarded for final audit.
Phase 3: Completion
Audit & Archiving

Accounting reviews all data for completeness. If found in order, they grant Approval. The Payroll Clerk then prints the finalized payroll, and a scanned, signed copy is uploaded to CPIS for digital archiving.

Governance Policies

IN-PROGRESS / SUBJECT TO CHANGE
THE START-OVER RULE

The Payroll Clerk has the authority to Unlock a period to add/remove employees or edit data. However, this Resets the approval status. The entire payroll must be re-verified by Accounting to maintain a secure audit trail.

VERIFICATION GATE

An employee will not load into the worksheet for encoding unless their required documents for that period have been uploaded and verified.

SYSTEM LOGS

All high-level actions (Unlock, Approval, Deletion) are logged with a user timestamp to ensure transparency for internal or external audits.
