Abstract:

Guyuk local Government operates manually, and as a result, it leads to a waste of resources as well as time consumption. Therefore, there is a need to computerize the payroll system. Payroll is an accounting term that focuses on the activities and computation of staff salaries within the local Government; however, this has been a long-time problem that the local Government faces. Looking at the complexity of activities involved in salary preparation, computers will go a long way to solve and reduce some of the stress and problems that are characterised by manual exercise. Technology has made the world a village where boundaries do not affect social and business dealings. This revolution has not left Guyuk’s local Government behind. Against this background, this study tries to reveal the potentiality of a computer-based payroll system. This system is built to manage the database of the local government staff and pay their monthly salaries on time. The payroll system is designed using the Microsoft Office Access database. Primary and secondary data is driven through observation and personal interaction with the officers using the then manual system. The local Government is under Adamawa state, northeast of Nigeria. It is recommended that the entered system be implemented to reduce the time wasted and corruption in the system.
