What is payroll system variables ?

Question

what is payroll system variables ?

Answer 1

There is no generic answer to this query, it all depends on the context.

The variables depend on the kind of system you would like to design. For example, you can write a simple program in C/C++/Java etc to calculate the total payment due to an employee given the various constituents of the final payment (various allowances, PF contributions etc.) In this case one can define variables as needed.

Answer 2

it depends. for an hourly payroll system, you will need:

entering_time, exiting_time, hourly_pay_rate;

you can calculate time worked by subtracting exiting_time by entering_time, but you will have to consider minutes. then you multiply hourly_pay_rate with time worked.
