The document compares manual, software-based, and outsourced payroll systems. A manual system uses pen, paper and calculators and is time-consuming and error-prone. Payroll software automates all payroll processes, performing calculations accurately and generating pay slips. Payroll outsourcing involves a third party handling payroll for organizations with over 900-1000 employees to reduce costs and effort.

3. Manual System
The traditional payroll
system which involves
pen and ink, adding
machine, spreadsheet,
etc. instead of a
computer software and other computerized aids.
The process is tedious, time consuming and risky
as it is more prone to errors.

4. Payroll Software
An automated software that performs every
action needed by the payroll process. It helps in
calculating the payable
amounts and deductions,
and generating the pay
slips. Automated calcula-
tions result in no errors.
Data is validated automatically by the software.

5. Payroll
Outsourcing
This involves a third party (an outsourcing
company) in the calculations of salaries and
deductions. If there is more number of
employees (say more than 900-1000) in the
organization, payroll outsourcing
would be very much beneficial.
