Business Processes 

The following three payroll processes were used in the test: 

● 

Paysheet creation: This process generates payroll data worksheets for employees consisting of standard 

payroll information for each employee for the given pay cycle. The paysheet process can be run separately 

from the other two tasks, usually before the end of the pay period. 

● 

Payroll calculation: This process examines the paysheets and calculates checks for those employees. 

Payroll calculation can be run any number of times throughout the pay period. The first run will perform 

most of the processing, while each successive run updates only the calculated totals of changed items. This 

iterative design reduces the amount of time required to calculate a payroll as well as the processing
