Payroll System Controls

6 May, 2015 - 17:39

Internal controls for payroll systems are similar to those for cash disbursements. A voucher system is recommended. When names are to be deleted or added to the payroll register, they should be supported by a written statement from personnel. Attendance records are taken by personnel to ensure accurate determination of pay, vacation benefits and sick leave benefits. As an extra measure of safety, employee identification cards are often issued and must be presented by employees when receiving paychecks.
