- Payroll: Risks and Controls Below are some of the processes that are typically executed before, during, and after a payroll cycle: Employees record their hours worked. The supervisor reviews and approves each employee's time records with their signature. An officer from the Human Resources department updates employee files after receiving authorized records of overtime and leaves (vacations, illness, etc.) from the supervisor. Afterward, approved records are sent to the payroll officer in the accounting department. The payroll officer calculates the gross payment, applies deductions, and calculates the net payment. Subsequently, the final payroll is sent for the controller's approval. Payments are issued to employees using their preferred delivery method (check or direct deposit). Entries are generated for the corresponding payroll transactions. Withholdings for payroll taxes, Social Security, and Medicare are respectively remitted to the Department of Treasury and the Internal…arrow_forwardAn enterprising student has set up an internship clearinghouse for business students. Each student who uses the service fills out a form and lists up to 10 companies that he or she would like to have contacted. The clearinghouse has a choice of two methods to use for processing the forms. The traditional method requires about 20 minutes to reviewthe form and arrange the information in the proper order for processing. Once this setup is done, it takes only two minutes per company requested to complete the processing. The other alternative uses an optical scan/retrieve system, which takes only a minute to prepare but requires five minutes per company for completing the processing. If it costsabout the same amount per minute for processing with either of the two methods, when should each be used? (Answer in Appendix D)arrow_forwardEU Company manufactures two different types of life vests (A and B) that are manufactured and assembled on three different workstations (W, X, and Y) using a small-batch process (see Figure 1). Batch setup times are negligible. The flowchart denotes the path each product follows through the manufacturing process, and each product’s price, demand per week, and processing times per unit are indicated as well. Purchased parts and raw materials consumed during production are represented by inverted triangles. EU can make and sell up to the limit of its demand per week; no penalties are incurred for not being able to meet all the demand. Each workstation is staffed by a worker who is dedicated to work on that workstation alone and is paid $6 per hour for an entire week, regardless of how much the worker is used. Total labor costs per week are fixed. Variable overhead costs are $1,500/week. The plant operates one 8-hour shift per day, or 40 hours/week. Which of the three workstations, W,…arrow_forward
- ABC Solutions is a traditional company in a textile industry with a combined workforce of 150 staff. Due to increased levels of competition, this company is now increasingly finding it difficult to compete – especially as the larger companies seem to be a little more innovative, agile and responsive to client requirements. Management have noticed that staff, especially the highly skilled ones, are now leaving the company to seek work elsewhere (in these larger companies). This has meant appointing new staff and undertaking a considerable amount of re-training to replace those that have left the company. Apart from impacting on core business operations, ABC Solutions has started witnessing a drop in its profit margin. Given this position, senior management at ABC Solutions have decided to implement a performance measurement tool (PMT) that would allow them to align the strategic, management and operational requirements of the business. They are therefore considering the adoption of the…arrow_forwardWhat is flow processing, and what are its advantages and disadvantages?arrow_forwardA company assembles a product that consists of three pieces called AA, BB, and CC. The AA and BB parts are manufactured by the company itself, while the CC parts are purchased from another manufacturer. The process times, in hours, required for each piece in each of the processes are given in the following table: Process 1 Process 2 Process 3 Process 4 Process 5 AA 1 0.5 0.5 BB 1.5 0.5 0.5 0.5 The company has 20 machines that can carry out process 1, 5 process 2, 10 process 3, 5 process 4 and 5 process 5. Each machine works a maximum of five days each week at a rate of fifty weeks a year , in working days of 8 hours a day.

- What written materials should the supervisor provide for new letter carriers in light of what Carol Burgess already provides? Carol Burgess is a letter carrier and a part-time trainer of letter carriers for the U.S. Postal Service in a major city on the west coast. She trains all new letter carriers in her service area, which encompasses the northern half of her state. Over the past five years she has trained 318 new letter carriers. Typically,the training is offered prior to the new letter carrier’s entry onto the job, although sometimes it occurs shortly thereafter.The training program typically encompasses both the orientation of new employees to the U.S. Postal Service and the development of specific skills needed by the new letter carrier. The latter involves practice in casing mail (i.e., sorting) to appropriate locations of a case in preparation for delivery,reading maps, determining appropriate sequencing of delivery, and customer relations.

- Why is it essential to include an exception into the timetable of a process?arrow_forwardThe following flow chart shows the entire manufacturing process at KD Manufacturing, which consists of six independent operations processes (i.e. sawing, sanding, drilling, reshaping, welding, and assembly). The entire process flow starts with the input of three different parts, Part I, Part II and Part III, each entering a different input line. Three parts meet later for the welding, whichever welding station is available (two identical welding stations work independently). After welding is completed, the product is sent to one of the three assembly stations (which are in parallel). The chart also shows the processing time per unit (in minutes) for each operation. Each of sawing, sanding, drilling and reshaping stations is handled by a different worker. Two workers handle welding, each at one welding station. Another three workers handle the assembly process independently, one at each assembly station. To improve the capacity of the entire manufacturing process, the manager decides to…arrow_forwardFive Hour Loan offers customized loans.
