3. PAYROLL:

The term 'payroll' encompasses every employee of a company who receives a regular wage or other

1

compensation. Some employees may be paid a steady salary while others are paid for hours worked. All of these different payment methods are calculated by a payroll specialist and the appropriate paychecks are issued.

After a payroll accountant multiplies an employee's hours by his or her pay rate, the gross income amount is entered into a calculator or computer program. Regular deductions such as tax withholdings, social security and medical insurance and so on are then categorized and subtracted. The remaining balance is then converted to a check and becomes the employee's net pay for that time period. Payroll departments also identify the employer and employees by a federal code and keep a running tally on total income and deductions for the year.

Setting up an effective payroll system is not especially difficult for trained accountants, but it can be very time consuming.

In a company, payroll is the sum of all financial records of salaries, wages, bonuses and deductions.

FUNCTIONS OF PAYROLL:

1. Receiving of inputs:

The preparation of payroll starts with the receipt of inputs from various departments. These inputs are received from the personnel & administration department.

2. Checking against eligibility:

Once information is received they are checked against eligibility before approval. The criteria for eligibility are mentioned in the company’s policies, circulars and notes. If the inputs received are not eligible, then the concerned employee and the personnel and administration department is informed about it. If the inputs fulfill the eligibility criteria, they are further processed for settlement. If required these inputs are matched with the pay roll history of the employees, stored in the data base files.

1

3. Consolidation:

The inputs which are found eligible are then entered in the system, which contains all the relevant information about the employees. Once the statement has been entered in the computer they are checked again to make sure that there are no errors. They are checked against the inputs receiving and eligibility criteria for each input. Checking the input is an important step in the preparation of payroll because any mistakes while entering the data into the computer system will result in miscalculation of the employees pay.

4. Processing:

The reconciled statements are then processed. This step involves matching of the bank statement with pay and reimbursement registers. In case of adjustment of excess advance taken by an employee a negative pay slip is prepared.Preparation of head count report is a vital task as this gives the total number of employees. Other functions carried out during processing include the preparation of salary comparison statement, etc.

While processing claims and reimbursement some of them are approved and sent back to the concerned employee and administrative department. The processed information is stored in files or system for use in future.

5. Reporting:

The processed information is used to generate various reports. These reports are sent to the concerned departments, employees, etc.

The pay register, reimbursement register, provident fund register are prepared and information of these registers is sent to the administration department and employees. Bank statement along with floppy is sent to the bank

Capital Budgeting:

Capital Expenditure involves huge amounts of investment. Thus a long term planning is required while undertaking new project. Some projects may take longer time for completion thus capital expenditure may be extended beyond the estimated budget period. In such cases the expenditure requirement has to be fragmented financial year wise, specifying the starting date and the estimated date of completion.

1

Operation and Maintenance Budget:

Repairs and maintenance expenses are one of the major expenses that are incurred in the organization / company. It includes three types of maintenance such as predictive maintenance, preventive maintenance and breakdown maintenance.

CHAPTER – 4

STUDY

1

4.1 STUDY OF MANAGEMENT:

Management has these days become a crucial issue for every organization. There are 4 M’s of Business Composition:

1.MAN / HUMAN RESOURCE :

Man i.e. the human resource is considered to be the most important and valuable asset of an organization. It is very difficult to replace human resource i.e. it is irreplaceable. Now a days in each and every organization there is a Human Resource department who takes care of employee needs their problems etc. To retain human resource in an organization these days has become a matter of concern, so all the facilities are to be provided to them so that they are satisfied with the organization and give their best to fulfill the organizational needs.

Human resource is the most important element or component irrespective of the nature of industry. Importance of human resource may vary from industry to industry i.e. it depends on type of industry. In every industry human resource is considered as mind of company.In software development industries human resources are very important in the same way in industries where work is mainly carried out through machines. Now a day’s human resource plays an important role in every organization, the manpower employed or recruited should have high technical knowledge and it is mainly found in mechanical driven industries.

Human resource departments look after the problems of the employees and provide them with facilities so that they can deliver their expertise in their jobs without any mental worry for their personal needs. Labour turnover is also considered a crucial component these days in every organization. Qualified and experienced manpower are difficult to retain. Sometimes it is found that the manpower is qualified but does not have the experience and vice-versa. Thus the growth of the company depends

1

on the qualified and experienced manpower or staff recruited by company.

2. MATERIAL:

Material is also an important factor for producing a product. If input is of good quality then output will also be good. E.g. Garbage in Garbage out (GIGO) i.e. what you put you get back. The better quality product you use the better output you get.

There are two major categories of material:-

1) INPUT RAW MATERIAL - which are mainly found in the final product.

2) CONSUMABLES - which are consumed and loose their entity while producing final product.

Quality of material used is in direct proportion to the product cost. Lower the quality - lower is the cost.Higher the quality - higher is the cost.However quality pays in long run i.e. long term benefit is to be seen.E.g. suppose if we are going to buy a product, the quality is low and the price is also low, so looking to the price we may buy the product initially but we are not able to get the benefit in long run.

But next time while buying product we may look high quality though the price may be somewhat higher than the previous purchase we made, but it will give us long run benefit that we are looking for.

According to the requirement of industry materials are required, different industries require different materials to produce the product.

1

3.MACHINERY:

Humans help produce the final product, raw material serve as an input to final product, but it is the machines which shape and formally manufacture the final product. Different industries require different types of machinery to produce products. The organization or industry has to continuously keep themselves updated according to the changes taking place in the market, otherwise the technology used in machinery will become obsolete and the organization will not be aware of it if it is not in touch with the changes taking place around the world. Thus to survive in cut-throat competition these days, the industries have to keep a track record of all the technological changes taking place around. Lot of funds is to be blocked by the company in purchasing machinery, so decisions are to be taken carefully. Hi-tech machines require highly skilled, expertise and experienced people to handle it.

These machines need to be over hauled regularly so as to maintain its productivity i.e. regular maintenance is needed.

4.MONEY:

Money is considered as last M and to be the most important component in a business or organization, without money no activity takes place. It is money for which the business is been started and it is money which actually helps the business runs like we have an old saying – “Money makes the mare go”. The purpose for which money is required may be short term, medium term and long term.For short term, money is required for working capital requirements and for meeting day to day expenses. The organization should have surplus funds with themselves to run the routine business cycle i.e. for meeting daily business requirements.

1

For medium term, money is required for purchasing stock (inventory), tools, insurance etc.

For long term money is required to purchase heavy machinery, equipments. The company can take loan for this purpose. To collect funds from public the company can issue equity shares, preference shares and can come out with a public issue etc.Without money the business cannot function smoothly. From profits of the company or organization some portion or proportion is to be kept aside as reserve so that it can be used during time of contingency or emergency etc. The organization has to keep a strict watch on where the amounts of funds are spent.

For purchasing heavy machinery huge amount of funds are required mortgage loans can be taken, hypothecation can be done etc. Thus proper records are to be maintained for the inflow and outflow of funds.

4.2 RECEIPT SIDE (From where does the Company receives the funds):

1. Refund of Earnest Money Deposit (EMD).

2. Mobilization Advance.

3. Billing.

4. Refund of Security deposit.

5. Refund of Retention money.

1. Refund of Earnest Money Deposit :-

If the contract is cancelled then Earnest Money Deposit is refunded. It means after the technical bid is opened and after evaluating and ascertaining the technical compatibility of the party/contractor, if the contractor is found to be technically unqualified then the Earnest Money Deposit collected from the contractor is returned back or refunded. Thus it acts as receipt for the Company.

1

2. Mobilization Advance :-

The money paid in advance of a transaction to protect the seller against damage or non-payment is called mobilization advance.In other words, mobilization advance is needed to meet the expenses and it is mainly provided to facilitate liquidity. Normally the advance is 10% of contract value against Bank Guarantee.

3. Billing :-

Normally the duration period of raising bills by the Company is usually 30 to 45 days. E.g. Suppose the Company does the first transaction on 1st

May it raises bill up to 30th May, thus it is called Running Account Bills.

4. Refund of Security deposit :-

When the contract is awarded that time Earnest Money Deposit is not refunded, it is converted into Security deposit. But after successful completion of the contract the amount that was submitted by the contractor to the client will be refunded by the client to the contractor. Thus it will be receipt for the Company.

5. Refund of Retention Money :-

Retention money is that money that is held back that would otherwise be paid until the other party performs some service or task.E.g. Normally in construction business it is common that a series of payments is made overtime that time certain percentage (%) depending on the work order is withheld by the client until the job is complete. This way the contractor can pay his costs during construction of the project, but obviously he does not get the entire amount until the job is done. But after successful completion of the contract the amount that was submitted by the contractor

1

to the client will be refunded by the client to the contractor. Thus it will be receipt for the Company.

4.3 PAYMENT SIDE (To whom the Company

makes payments ):

1. While filling up tender Earnest Money Deposit is paid i.e. expenses are to be made.

2. Mobilization expenses.

3. Purchase of Consumables.4. Hire of equipment.

5. Staff salary/wages.

6. Overheads.

7. Fixed expenses.

8. Deduction of Retention money.

9. Deduction of Security deposit.

10. Installment of loans.

1. While filling up tender Earnest Money Deposit is paid i.e. expenses are to be made :-

While filling the tender the Company/Contractor has to give the Earnest Money Deposit to the client, the client collects the amount because the client intends that those who are the genuine contractors i.e. only those who are interested in contract only they should apply for the tender and submit the bid, the uninterested parties should not apply for tender and submit the bid.

2. Mobilization expenses :-

1

It means the expenses for mobilizing at the site i.e. man, material and machinery for the site, all these expenses are related to 3 M’s hence depending on the conditions of work order mobilization expenses are made.

3. Purchase of Consumables :-

It is an expense for the Company. Consumables are those which are consumed and loose their identity while producing the final product.E.g. Fleet of cranes, Power generators, Welding machines, Electric winches, Lifting tackles and other required tools and tackles this entire are the consumables for the Company and to acquire all this expenses are to be made by the Company.

4. Hire of equipment :-

As the Company has to go to the client’s site and manufacture according to client’s requirement, different clients have different requirement so the Company may not have all the equipments with them, sometimes the Company may have to hire the equipments.

E.g. Hiring of equipments like heavy machinery, hydra cranes etc all this are the equipments hired by the Company to do the work and according to client’s requirements the equipments are hired by the Company, for hiring the equipments all this expenses are to be made by the Company.

5. Staff salary / wages :-

The Company has to give salary to employees and wages to the workers who are working at the site. Payment of wages and salaries to the employees and workers are to be made accurately then only they will work efficiently and contribute their best to the Company. Hence minimum wages are to be paid to workers irrespective of whether they are skilled, semi-skilled, unskilled etc.

6. Overheads :-

1

It refers to an ongoing expense of operating a business. Overheads is usually used to group expenses that are necessary to the continued functioning of the business, but do not directly generate profits.E.g. Insurance, interest, legal fees, rent, repairs, taxes, travel and utility bills etc.

7. Fixed expenses :-

It includes office rent, electricity bill, telephone charges and mobile bills, Xerox charges, courier charges, erection and fabrication work done etc.

8. Deduction of Retention money :-

Certain percentage (%) is deducted depending on the work order. In case if any defective work is there or the work done is not according to the requirement of the client, then the deducted retention money is not repayable.

9. Deduction of Security deposit :-

The Company / contractor have to submit security deposit to the client when the contract is awarded to them. Certain percentage (%) of security deposit is deducted depending on the work order / requirement by the client.

10. Installment of loans:-

The purpose for which the Company has to take loans may be to purchase heavy equipments, machines, cranes etc. The interest rates on loan amount are higher, so the Company has to pay a huge amount of installments on loan.

4.4 HOW THE COMPANY IS MANAGING ITS FUNDS:

1

The Company normally manages its funds through the receipts received from the clients, but the Company cannot wait till they get payment from the client before that what all are the expenses that the Company has to incur i.e. paying wages, salaries, etc that they have to make.

The Company has got a credit limit of Rs.10 crores from bank and has to pay 15 -16 % interest on it.

The Company normally takes long term loans to purchase hydra cranes, heavy equipments and vehicles that are used at the site like cars, jeeps, buses, trailers etc.

Thus the fund requirements are met by the unsecured loans taken from the Directors of the Company as public money is not involved in the Company.
