Tuesday, October 02, 2007 City Hall computerizes payroll
THE City Accounting Department has introduced an upgraded computerized payroll system for permanent employees in a bid to improve its services and maximize resources.
"This project, which was conceived two years ago, basically aims to improve our services particularly in the processing of payrolls for permanent employees," City Accountant Wilma Polley-Rugay told payroll in-charge of the different departments and offices at City Hall during a briefing and orientation on the concept of the one-month payroll system held Friday last week at the City Council session hall in Cagayan de Oro City.
With the added features of the new computerized payroll system, Rugay said the preparation, processing and payment of payroll system to permanent employees would be hastened and fast-tracked.
Rugay said the adoption of the one-month payroll system is also beneficial, not only to the City Accounting Department, but also to the payroll-in-charge as it would save time, energy, and resources.
"Employees who handle payroll preparation and processing can now attend to other office needs and concerns as the new payroll system will lessen their workload," she added.
Under the new payroll system, preparation and processing of payroll, which reflects the accrued amount payable every 15th and 30th day of the month, is done only once.
Unlike the time-consuming old payroll system, preparation and processing of payroll is done twice a month covering the first half and second half of the month.
City Mayor Constantino G. Jaraula ordered last week the adoption of the new computerized payroll system, which is expected to take effect starting the month of October. (CIO)
