Requirements

Chocolate Arts Inc. needs your assistance in documenting its business processes

for the payroll cycle for paying employees. The following is a narrative.

Every Friday after calculating time and payroll, a second payroll clerk runs

a database query to retrieve payroll information. This payroll clerk performs

a random check of employee time and pay to verify accuracy and validity.

Then the payroll clerk inserts check forms and paystubs into a dedicated

laser printer and prints the paychecks and paystubs. The controller reviews

the paychecks and signs the checks. The payroll clerk inserts the checks

and stubs into window envelopes and mails the checks to employees.
