Goal:
Your goal is to create an accurate and professional sample payroll report using real-life data,
demonstrating your ability to compute salaries, wages, deductions (such as taxes, SSS,
PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG), and net income for different types of employees. You will use a
spreadsheet application (e.g., Excel, Google Sheets) to automate calculations and present
your work clearly.
Role:
You are a Payroll Assistant working for a small business in the Philippines. Your supervisor has
asked you to compute and organize payroll information for a group of employees with varying
types of compensation.
Audience:
Your audience is your Payroll Manager and the company's Finance Team, who will review your
payroll report for approval and use it to disburse salaries.
Situation:
The company is preparing its bi-monthly and monthly payroll. You have been given employee
data including hours worked, hourly or monthly rates, commissions, overtime hours, and
necessary deductions. You must compute gross pay, all mandatory deductions, and net pay
for each employee. Then, you must present your findings in a clear and organized
spreadsheet and payslip.
