Data Flow Diagram

This shows the flow of data in using an automated payroll system

The main data elements found in the data dictionary are the names of employees and their related personal information, number of hours worked and rates, and monthly contributions and deductions, if any.

Some of the fields in data elements have drop-down option which is a helpful tool to lessen the encoding part and committing errors. Example of this is the field of "Deductions" which already has choices for possible reasons of making deductions.

These data elements are inputted to come up with the salary pay of each employee, that would then be needed as completion to generate a record for every employee in the entity.
