ABSTRACT
This research work is focused on salary payment information system for hotel industry using Genesis Hotel in Ikot Ekpene as a case study. A salary payment information system is an automated system that is used to keep record of salary payment information for easy update and retrieval for decision making. The study was necessary because of the problems of the existing system such as: poor record keeping of salary payment information, absence of an automated system to process salary payment information, reports about salary payment information cannot be instantly retrieved. In view of these problems, the specific objectives are to develop a system that can be used to register employees salary payment information, to create a system that facilitates easy updating of salary payment information and to develop a system that can be used to view reports of salary payment history of employees. The significance of the study is that it will provide a more effective and efficient system capturing and computation of salary payment records and It will aid easy retrieval of needed information pertaining to salary payment. The design methodology used is object oriented analysis and design methodology (OOADM). The programming language use is Hypertext Pre-processor (PHP) and the database used is MYSQL.
