In requirements as a graduating student the proponents create

this Thesis entitled LAN-Based Time keeping and Payroll for Blanco
Family Academy. This system is hassle free in recording the time
keeping record of the employees by using Biometrics that rely to
automated and computerizes Payroll.
The proponents interest to conduct an investigation has led them
to understand the payroll system of Blanco Family Academy present
problems such as what are the common problems encountered by the
accounting staff of Blanco Family Academy in terms of using their

manual system in processing payroll and time keeping how it will help
the accounting staff in terms of the generating payroll transaction, easy

biometrics,

secure

all

records,

calculating and generate all payroll reports.

The study deals with a proposal for a LAN-Based Timekeeping and
Payroll using Biometric for Blanco Family Academy. The objective of the
study was aimed to help the Blanco Family Academy to have an efficient
and effective way of Employees Time Keeping and Payroll System using
biometrics to give a higher quality of service and to:
1.) Develop a system that will improve the Blanco Family Academys
operation in the Timekeeping and Payroll.
2.) To develop a system that will monitor employees data that is
efficient to use.
3.) To use biometrics tool (Fingerprint scanner) that will provide an easy
log-in and log-out of the employees and staff.
4.) Secure the records of employees and to have more manageable files.
5.) Easy Calculation of Payroll Transaction and Summarize all the
Deducted Contribution of Employees.

According to the results, the organization must adopt the

developed system because it will be a great help for the School
especially to the personnel who manage the employee transaction when
it comes into the payroll processes because of its module timekeeping
using a biometrics for their time logs and payroll system for the
