Project Objectives

The objectives of this project are as follows:
1. Investigate the problem carefully and the existing solutions.
2. Gather the user requirements.
3. Select an appropriate methodology and tools to produce a solution.
4. Create prototypes of the Graphical User interfaces (GUI) before producing the solution to ensure it meets the user requirements.
5. Implement a Database and scripts to support the GUI.
6. Test and evaluate the solution.

Requirements

The minimum requirements are as follows:
1. An online web based system for payroll queries.
2. The system will allow managers to submit and retrieve replies to payroll queries.
3. The system will allow payroll personnel to view and reply to payroll queries.
4. The system should have a well presented Instruction Manual.
5. The system shall keep a history of payroll personnel interaction with a query which can be viewed by any payroll personnel and the payroll manager.
6. Validation ensuring that all the required details needed to resolve the query are present before the manager is allowed to submit a query.
7. A Graphical User Interface allowing the payroll manager to count the number of queries matching the criteria stated to compile their report and to view the performance of each payroll personnel.
8. Security measures preventing any user other than payroll personnel and payroll manager to view and reply to queries.
