Review of Related literature
The payroll system is used to maintain a list of employee’s name, addresses, and employment information and is used to interactively calculate and print payroll checks employee’s hours are entered and distributed to appropriate department/cost centers.

Chapter 2
Research Methodology In this chapter is all about hoe the proposed system study being planned and designed. This also tackles with the gathering procedures, analysis of the data, research design, instruments being used.
Research design
The proponents gathered important data that will help developed the system process into a consistent and reliable flow of information. The data’s and information’ s we gathered will certainly supports the system process of our proposed study. The proponents also undergo observations, descriptions of the behavior of the study we conducted for our system process. We also have graphical representations which show how the system process functions.

Conceptual Framework of the Study

Nowadays, technology is highly needed by many companies in order to make certain task in a fast and easy way and manual process should be dominated. As we proposed a system which is entitled the Pacific Nickel Philippines Inc. a system that provides financial records, calculations, and information of every employee. For a better understanding about the flow of our study conducted, we made a schematic diagram that comprises of three boxes. The first box is the input which shows the whole information of a certain employee including its financial records, allowances, and other deductions. The second box which shows the software applications, tools, and diagrams that necessary in developing the proposed system. The third box which is the output that result of input and process of the system study that we proposed which is the Pacific Nickel Philippines Inc. payroll system.
