As a business grows and expands its offices to various locations, it starts to hire more employees to serve from the new offices. Further business expansion means that the organization spreads their offices to different regions within the country. This paper explains how a large business organization that has spread their offices in various areas of a country can develop a payroll system that one centralized database that each payroll department links to through Wide Area Network (WAN).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best network architecture for a distributed payroll system?
A client/server architecture is recommended, as it allows for a centralized database that remote offices can access efficiently and securely.
How can remote offices securely access a centralized payroll database?
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) provide a secure, encrypted link over a Wide Area Network (WAN) to protect sensitive payroll data during transmission.
What are the benefits of using a VPN for payroll systems?
Key benefits include enhanced data privacy, secure linking of geographically separated offices, and cost-effective remote access.
What legal considerations apply to digital payroll systems?
Organizations must ensure compliance with data protection laws, maintain strict access controls, and implement robust data backup procedures.
How does a centralized payroll system impact organizational culture?
It can lead to changes in payment periods and may cause concerns regarding job displacement or shifts in administrative responsibilities.
