    About this ebook

    This book was originally written as a guide to payroll clerks, executives and managers to be used together with payroll software, some thirty years ago, as part of the efforts of a company to get uses for its software. The book achieved its aims.

    Payroll management is now only a very small part of the Human Resource Capital Department. Payroll in fact is being outsourced to those who want to work from home. It is to this group of self employed that this book is addressed to.

    Chapter One

    Is This Type Of Self-Employment Something I Want?

    Synopsis

    •  What does the Payroll Management Business involve

    •  What it means for me

    Tutorial: The employment contract

    The For Service contract

    Introduction

    The fierce competition has driven prices down and to survive many organisations outsource their non-core activities to people like you. This book is written to help you get a foothold in the billion dollar business of outsourcing but we will focus only on payroll management that is outsourced.

    Core of the Payroll Management Business (PMB)

    In addition organisations expect you to be reliable. Hence in each chapter is included a tutorial to help you with some depth on the current HR practice.

    Technology of the PMB

    The technology referred to, frees the HR team from the routine tasks and gives time to the HR executive to provide the personal touch to the HR events like attending to grievances or ‘perceived injustices’.

    Confidentiality

    Much of the work of HR especially in the area of payroll is still considered confidential and the HR team must learn to respect every worker’s private space especially in payroll matters. Look at the case study below and notice what can go wrong when confidential information is circulated.

    Case Study

    At a recent interview my interviewer told me that she had obtained my CV from her friend, a HR manager in another company. I was very surprised. Is the passing of confidential document without the owners’ consent ethical?

    Ms Shocked

    Response

    Good HR practice requires the CVs to treated as confidential documents the way their owners want them to be.

    Perhaps the HR department of the other company wanted to do the applicant a favour by passing her details to another prospective employer. If this was so the HR person should have got the consent of the owner of the CV.

    Each job application has the terms ‘write in confidence’ the implied legal relationship is that confidentiality would be maintained. Hence the HR person’s circulation of the CV to another person is a direct breach of this confidence.

    You are expected to be on-time since wage and salaries must be paid by the 7th of the following month. (This is provided by law)

    You have to harness electronic communications to get the data you need to prepare the payroll on time.

    Tutorial: Chapter One

    Synopsis

    2)   Characteristics of Contracts of Service or the Employment Contract.

    Checklist of Items

    Terms that should be included in the Employment Contract that affects the payroll. To avoid miscommunication between the employer and the employee the following should ne included:

    1)   Date of commencement of employment

    2)   Probationary period and the terms during and after probation

    3)   Salary of the employee

    4)   Annual increment

    7)   Hours of work

    8)   Method of working

    9)   Any overtime pay

    10) Other types of incentive payment e.g. attendance bonus

    Implications of an Employment Contract

    With the employment contract the employer has the following rights and obligations:

    •  The employee must give notice if he wishes to stop working.

    Example 1

    Mohan has been working in a restaurant for 6 months. He has accepted a higher paying job elsewhere. Mohan has to give his employer a notice period of one month as stated in his employment contract. He submits his letter on the 8th of May and his last day is 7th June.

    Payroll Guide: Salary is paid up to the last day of service, 7th June.

    Example 1

    Salary to be paid up to and inclusive of the last day of work

    •  The employee must carry out the duties that are assigned to him.

    Example 2

    John Pereira is employed as a driver of the company vehicles which includes saloon cars and station wagons. The company contracts off its delivery service to a third party. The company wants to keep John Pereira because his work performances has been satisfactory. Can the company assign John to drive the most senior manager’s Mercedes?

    Patrol Guide: John’s salary continues at the same rate whether he drives saloon cars or whether he drives just one Mercedes limousine.

    Example 2

    Salary continues if employee carries out the duties assigned to him

    •  The employee must be diligent and honest.

    Example 3

    Tommy Tan is an excellent technician of Mercedes cars and his employer, a motor service agency has assigned him the task of scheduling the cars of valuable clients for service. Tommy accepts ‘under the table’ money and changes the schedules so that Mercedes cars of favoured clients are given priority.

    Tommy Tan has no legal right to these payments, even if clients give them to him without him asking for them.

    Example 3

    Extra payments are not the legal right of an employee

    Contract of Service

    Differences between a Contract OF Service and a Contract FOR Service.

    A Contract of Service is an agreement of EMPLOYMENT.

    A Contract For Service is an agreement made between 2 parties.

    One party may be an organisation and the other party, an individual who undertakes to perform a
