JP 2019-082971 A

Incidentally, even if payroll calculations are automated and payment data for payroll transfers and resident tax payment data are automatically generated, HR personnel still have to work hard on the processes that accompany payroll processing. For example, if the standard monthly remuneration is changed as a result of payroll calculations, a monthly change notification must be submitted. Although it is technically possible to automatically generate such document data, changes to the standard monthly remuneration are sometimes made at regular intervals, and automatically changing the standard monthly remuneration is not necessarily very convenient.

Therefore, this disclosure describes a technology that performs payroll calculations automatically, notifies users when various processes associated with payroll payment processing are required, and enables users to see at a glance whether various processes are required due to fluctuations in payroll payment amounts.

According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a program is provided for performing a payroll process for an employee at a business operator, the program being executed by a computer having a processor and a memory. The memory is registered with payroll information required for calculating the payroll of an employee. The program causes the processor to execute the following steps: calculating the payroll of an employee for a predetermined period based on the payroll information; generating and outputting payroll data for the employee in response to a user's operation of a terminal device after the amount of payroll for the employee for the predetermined period has been determined; generating and outputting associated payment data associated with the payroll to the employee; determining whether or not there has been a change in the amount of payroll for the employee that is greater than a predetermined amount based on the amount of payroll for the employee for a past predetermined period; if there has been a change in the amount of payroll for the employee, displaying information indicating the change on the terminal device; and if there has been a change in the amount of payroll for the employee, generating necessary data corresponding to the change in the amount of payroll for the employee in response to a user's operation of the terminal device.

According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, an information processing device is provided that includes a control unit and a storage unit and performs payroll processing for employees at a business. Payroll information required for calculating the payroll of employees is registered in the storage unit. The control unit executes the following steps: calculating the payroll of employees for a predetermined period based on the payroll information; generating and outputting payroll data for employees in response to a user's operation of a terminal device after the amount of payroll of employees for the predetermined period has been determined; generating and outputting associated pay data associated with the payroll of employees; determining whether or not there has been a change in the amount of payroll of employees that is greater than a predetermined amount based on the amount of payroll of employees for a past predetermined period; if there has been a change in the amount of payroll of employees, displaying information indicating the change on the terminal device; and if there has been a change in the amount of payroll of employees, generating necessary data corresponding to the change in the amount of payroll of employees in response to a user's operation of the terminal device.

According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a method is provided for performing payroll processing for employees at a business operator, the method being executed by a computer having a processor and a memory. Payroll information required for calculating the payroll of employees is registered in the memory. The method includes the steps of: calculating the payroll of employees for a predetermined period based on the payroll information; generating and outputting payroll data for employees in response to a user's operation of a terminal device after the amount of payroll to employees for the predetermined period has been determined; generating and outputting associated payment data associated with the payroll to employees; determining whether or not there has been a change in the amount of payroll to employees that is greater than a predetermined amount based on the amount of payroll to employees for a past predetermined period; displaying information indicating the change on the terminal device when there has been a change in the amount of payroll to employees; and generating necessary data corresponding to the change in the amount of payroll to employees in response to a user's operation of the terminal device when there has been a change in the amount of payroll to employees.

According to the present disclosure, the system calculates the payroll of an employee for a specified period based on the payroll information required for the calculation of the employee's payroll, generates and outputs payroll payment data, and generates and outputs ancillary payment data associated with the payment of payroll to the employee. Based on the payroll amount, it is determined whether there has been a fluctuation in the payroll amount of the employee that is greater than a specified amount, and if there has been a fluctuation, information indicating this is displayed on the terminal device. This makes it possible to know at a glance whether various processes are necessary in conjunction with fluctuations in the payroll amount.

Below, an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, identical parts are given the same reference numerals. Their names and functions are also the same. Therefore, detailed descriptions thereof will not be repeated.

＜Overview＞
The payroll processing system according to the present disclosure will be described below. This payroll processing system is a system for providing payroll calculation processing services for employees employed by companies and individual business owners who are business users. The payroll calculation processing performed by companies and individual business owners is a process of calculating payroll based on the employee's basic salary, various allowances, deductions for social insurance premiums, withholding amounts for income tax, and attendance information for the employee.

In addition, such a system generates and outputs payment data to be sent to a financial institution server for transferring the money to the employee's financial institution account based on the results of the payroll calculation, and generates various data (associated payment data) for recording and paying social insurance premiums and various taxes (income tax, resident tax) associated with the payroll, and may even output payment data by companies and sole proprietors. The payment data sent to the financial institution server is generated in a specified format, for example, the Zenginkyo format (a format established by the Federation of Japanese Bankers Associations for data transmission). In addition, the payroll processing system according to the present disclosure is a system provided by a so-called SaaS (Software as a Service) as a Web service, for example, by a cloud server, and is configured to be accessible by users who are business operators through specified authentication. Such a payroll processing system may be provided as a personnel and labor service for performing various labor management processes at business operators.

In payroll calculations, social insurance premiums (health insurance, employee pension insurance, and nursing care insurance) are calculated based on the employee's standard monthly remuneration. The standard monthly remuneration is the monthly remuneration such as salary paid by the employer to the employee, divided into a specified range. The amount used for this division is usually calculated from the average of the total salary (including basic salary, various allowances, overtime allowances, etc.) for work from April to June, and is reflected in the salary for work from October onwards (there are certain exceptions, such as when the number of working days is less than the specified number). This process is carried out by a process called regular determination. However, if there is a certain amount of change in the salary amount due to a pay increase, etc., a process called occasional revision is carried out to change the standard monthly remuneration. When making occasional revisions, a document called a "Notification of Change in Insured Person's Monthly Remuneration" must be submitted. This process is also carried out for part-time workers, who are so-called part-timers.

The above-mentioned occasional revisions do not necessarily have to be made when there is a certain amount of change in the salary amount, and if the time for regular salary determination is approaching, they may be reflected in the regular salary determination process. In addition, various conditions are stipulated, such as the fact that changes in salary amount include salary increases, salary cuts, and changes in salary type, but do not include increases or decreases in special allowances or overtime allowances.

For this reason, it is not easy for personnel in the human resources or administrative departments who handle payroll calculations at businesses to determine and grasp whether the standard monthly remuneration needs to be changed for each employee. In addition, as mentioned above, revisions must be made on an as-needed basis, so it is not necessarily convenient to process them automatically when certain conditions are met. Personnel in charge need to understand when there has been a certain amount of change in the salary amount and determine whether or not to change the standard monthly remuneration.

Therefore, in the payroll processing system disclosed herein, the payroll calculation system calculates the payroll of employees for a specified period (e.g., one month) based on the payroll information required for the payroll calculation of the employees, generates and outputs payroll payment data, and generates and outputs ancillary payment data associated with the payment of payroll to the employees. Based on the past payroll amount, it is determined whether there has been a change in the employee's payroll amount by a specified amount or more (e.g., the standard monthly remuneration is classified as two or more grades), and if there has been a change, information indicating this is displayed on the terminal device. This enables personnel in the human resources and labor or administrative departments who handle payroll calculation processing at the business to know at a glance whether various processes are necessary due to changes in payroll amount.

In addition, businesses may be eligible for various public subsidies depending on the status of salary payments to employees. For this reason, the system determines whether various subsidy application requirements are met based on the status of salary payments to employees, and if so, displays information indicating this on the terminal device. This makes it possible to see at a glance whether various subsidy application requirements are met.

The processor 29 is hardware for executing a set of instructions written in a program, and is composed of an arithmetic unit, registers, peripheral circuits, etc.

The financial institution server 30 is a server device provided by a financial institution such as a bank, and manages various data on financial institution accounts registered in the payroll processing system 1 as financial institution accounts (e.g., current accounts) used by businesses. When the financial institution server 30 receives payroll payment data and associated payment data, for example via a specified API, it performs a specified authentication, and if the data is legitimate, it transfers the pay from the corresponding user's financial institution account to each employee, and transfers payments related to the associated payment data (for example, transfers of resident tax payments to the local government where the employees reside). The financial institution server 30 is a computer connected to the network 80.

<1.1 Configuration of terminal device 10>
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the terminal device 10 constituting the payroll processing system 1 of the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the terminal device 10 includes a plurality of antennas (antenna 111, antenna 112), a wireless communication unit (first wireless communication unit 121, second wireless communication unit 122) corresponding to each antenna, an operation reception unit 130 (including a keyboard 131 and a mouse 132), a voice processing unit 140, a microphone 141, a speaker 142, a display 150, a storage unit 160, and a control unit 170. The terminal device 10 also has functions and configurations (e.g., a battery for storing power, a power supply circuit for controlling the supply of power from the battery to each circuit, etc.) that are not particularly shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 2, each block included in the terminal device 10 is electrically connected by a bus or the like.

<1.2 Functional configuration of server 20>
Fig. 3 is a diagram showing the functional configuration of the server 20 constituting the payroll processing system 1 of the embodiment 1. As shown in Fig. 3, the server 20 performs the functions of a communication unit 201, a storage unit 202, and a control unit 203.

The communication unit 201 performs processing for the server 20 to communicate with external devices.

The memory unit 202 stores data and programs used by the server 20. The memory unit 202 stores a salary database 2021, an attendance database 2022, a salary payment history database 2023, etc.

The salary database 2021 is a database for storing information about the salary of employees of a business, which is managed by the salary processing system 1, specifically, information about basic salary and various allowances. Details will be described later.

The attendance database 2022 is a database for storing attendance information, specifically information on clock-in/clock-out times and holidays, that is the basis for calculating the payroll of employees at business operators and is managed by the payroll processing system 1. Details will be described later.

The salary payment history database 2023 is a database for holding information regarding the salary payment history of employees at a business, which is managed by the salary processing system 1. Details will be described later.

The control unit 203 performs the functions shown in various modules, such as a receiving control module 2031, a sending control module 2032, a salary calculation module 2033, a salary payment data generation module 2034, an associated payment data generation module 2035, a salary amount fluctuation determination module 2036, a determination result display module 2037, and a change response data generation module 2038, by the processor of the server 20 performing processing according to a program.

The reception control module 2031 controls the process in which the server 20 receives signals from external devices according to a communication protocol.

The transmission control module 2032 controls the process in which the server 20 transmits signals to external devices according to a communication protocol.

The payroll calculation module 2033 controls the process of calculating the payroll of an employee employed by a business that is a user of the payroll processing system 1 for a predetermined period (for example, one month). The payroll calculation module 2033 performs payroll calculation based on, for example, the basic pay and various allowances information (salary information) for each employee stored in the payroll database 2021, and the attendance information (salary information) for each employee stored in the attendance database 2022. However, the method of payroll calculation may differ depending on the type of pay of the employee. For example, in the case of an employee under a discretionary work system, attendance information may not need to be referenced. The payroll calculation module 2033 may calculate not only the employee's salary, but also other remuneration such as a bonus (which may be periodic or temporary). The payroll calculation module 2033 may also store the calculation result in the storage unit 202 as a temporary memory, or in the payroll payment history database 2023 (as unprocessed payroll payment information).

The payroll calculation module 2033 calculates the total amount to be paid, for example, by adding the amount of basic salary, the amount of various allowances such as position allowances and qualification allowances, and the amount of overtime allowance calculated from the attendance information of each employee. Next, the payroll calculation module 2033 calculates the total amount of deductions by adding the amount of social insurance premiums including health insurance premiums, employee pension insurance premiums, nursing care insurance premiums, and employment insurance premiums, the amount of income tax calculated from the amount obtained by subtracting the amount of social insurance premiums from the total amount of salary, the amount of resident tax calculated in advance, and other deductions. Furthermore, the payroll calculation module 2033 subtracts the total amount of deductions from the total amount to calculate the amount of salary to be paid (the so-called net salary).

For example, when an operation screen for performing payroll calculations is displayed on the terminal device 10 by a user's operation, the payroll calculation module 2033 performs payroll calculations and displays them on the terminal device 10 in response to the user operating the operation screen of the terminal device 10 to instruct payroll calculation.

After the salary payment amount is finalized by the salary calculation module 2033, the salary payment data generation module 2034 generates salary payment data for employees in response to a user operating the terminal device 10 to instruct the generation of salary payment data, and controls the process of transmitting the data to the financial institution server 30. The salary payment data generated by the salary payment data generation module 2034 is in a predetermined format accepted by the financial institution server 30, for example, the Japan Bankers Association format, and is payment data for instructing the transfer of salary from the financial institution account (for example, a current account) of the user business to the financial institution account (for example, a savings account) of the employee. The salary payment data generation module 2034 may generate and transmit similar payment data not only for the salary of employees, but also for remuneration other than salary, such as bonuses (which may be periodic or special).

After generating the salary payment data, the salary payment data generation module 2034, for example, accesses the financial institution server 30 and transmits the salary payment data via an API or the like provided by the financial institution used by the user. This transmission causes the financial institution server 30 to carry out a predetermined authentication, and if the transmitted data is legitimate, it transfers the salary to the employee. The salary payment data generation module 2034 may transmit the salary payment data as an immediate process in response to a user operation, or as a batch process at a specific timing.

The associated payment data generation module 2035 controls the process of generating associated payment data to the payee and transmitting it to the financial institution server 30 in response to, for example, the user operating the terminal device 10 to instruct the generation of associated payment data after the salary payment amount calculated by the salary calculation module 2033 is finalized. Here, the associated payment data is, for example, payment data for instructing the transfer of social insurance premiums to a social insurance association or the like, or payment data for instructing the transfer of resident taxes to the local government where the employee lives. The associated payment data generated by the associated payment data generation module 2035 is in a predetermined format accepted by the financial institution server 30, such as the Zenginkyo format, as in the case of salary payment data, and is payment data for instructing the transfer of payment from the financial institution account (for example, a current account) of the user business to the financial institution account (for example, a regular savings account) of the payee. The associated payment data generation module 2035 may generate and transmit similar payment data not only for the salary of employees, but also for payments associated with remuneration other than salary, such as bonuses (which may be periodic or special).

The specific transmission process of the associated payment data generation module 2035 and the process performed by the financial institution server 30 are the same as those of the salary payment data generation module 2034.

The salary amount fluctuation determination module 2036 controls the process of determining for each employee whether or not there has been a fluctuation of a specified amount or more in the salary payment amount for that employee, based on the past salary payment amount calculated by the salary calculation module 2033. The salary amount fluctuation determination module 2036 determines whether or not there has been a fluctuation of a specified amount or more in the salary payment amount for that employee, for example, in order to understand the need to revise the standard monthly remuneration amount from time to time as described above.

The salary amount fluctuation determination module 2036 specifically obtains the salary payment amount calculated by the salary calculation module 2033 for each employee, and also reads the salary payment history database 2023 to obtain the salary payment amounts for the immediately preceding two months. In other words, the salary amount fluctuation determination module 2036 obtains the salary payment amounts for the most recent three months for the employee. The salary amount fluctuation determination module 2036 compares the average of the obtained salary payment amounts for the most recent three months with the standard monthly remuneration of the employee, and determines whether there has been a fluctuation of more than a specified amount, specifically whether the standard monthly remuneration category has changed by two or more grades.

When determining whether there has been a change in the amount of salary paid to an employee, the salary amount change determination module 2036 may, for example, refer to the salary database 2021 to determine whether there has been a change in the basic salary or allowances (which are paid in fixed amounts every month). As described above, the salary amount change that serves as the basis for any revision of the standard monthly remuneration includes salary increases, pay cuts, changes in salary type, etc., and does not include increases or decreases in special allowances or overtime allowances.

The salary fluctuation determination module 2036 may also determine that a fluctuation has occurred at the time when a regular determination of the standard monthly remuneration is required (specifically, in July after the total amount of salary for work from April to June has been determined) and at the time when annual renewal of labor insurance is required (specifically, in June, which is the month designated by the competent authority) in order to display the result on the terminal device 10 via the determination result display module 2037 described below.

When the salary amount fluctuation determination module 2036 determines that there has been a fluctuation in the salary payment amount, the determination result display module 2037 controls the process of sending information indicating that there has been a fluctuation to the terminal device 10 and displaying it. In order to notify the user that there has been a fluctuation in the salary payment amount, the determination result display module 2037 sends information to that effect to the terminal device 10 and transmits a display instruction to have the terminal device 10 display the information.

The judgment result display module 2037 may, for example, display on an operation screen for performing salary calculations displayed on the terminal device 10 that there has been a change in the salary payment amount. At this time, in order to draw the user's attention, information indicating that there has been a change in the salary payment amount (for example, text stating that effect) may be displayed in a manner different from other information, such as highlighting, a different color, a different character font, a designed logo, etc. In addition, link information leading to a screen for performing processing by the change response data generation module 2038 described below may be displayed.

The determination result display module 2037 may also be configured to display a list of employees whose salary payment has changed by a specified amount or more, and to allow the change response data generation module 2038, described below, to process the amount for each employee. At this time, the salary payment amount before and after the change may be displayed for each employee, and specifically, the current standard remuneration amount and the standard remuneration amount updated due to the change may be displayed for comparison.

The change response data generation module 2038 controls the process of generating necessary data corresponding to the change when the result of the judgment by the salary amount fluctuation judgment module 2036 is that the salary payment amount has changed. The necessary data corresponding to the change is specifically document data of the "insured person's monthly remuneration change notification" to be submitted to a specified organization (such as a health insurance association) to revise the standard monthly remuneration from time to time, and may be generated by document data such as PDF (Portable Document Format). In addition, the change response data generation module 2038 may generate document data of the "calculation basis notification" to be submitted to a specified organization to make a regular determination of the standard monthly remuneration, and may be configured to generate and output by a list file for electronic application (for example, a file in CSV format). Furthermore, the change response data generation module 2038 may generate document data of a declaration to be submitted to a specified competent authority to make an annual renewal of the labor insurance.

The change response data generation module 2038 generates the necessary data to respond to the fluctuations and displays it on the terminal device 10 in response to a user's instruction to perform change response by operating the operation screen of the terminal device 10 on, for example, an operation screen for performing payroll calculations to be displayed on the terminal device 10 or a transition screen of link information displayed by the judgment result display module 2037.

<2 Data Structure>
Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the salary database 2021 and the attendance database 2022 stored in the server 20. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the salary payment history database 2023 stored in the server 20.

As shown in FIG. 4, each record in the salary database 2021 includes an item "employee ID," an item "employee name," an item "position rank," an item "salary details," etc.

The item "Employee ID" is information that identifies each employee who is paid a salary by the business and who is the subject of management by the payroll processing system 1.

The "Employee Name" item is the name of an employee whose salary is paid by the business and who is the subject of management by the payroll processing system 1.

The item "Position Rank" is information that indicates the position within the business of an employee whose salary is paid by the business, and is the subject of management by the payroll processing system 1. This information is used, for example, to determine the basic salary of the employee.

The "Salary details" item is salary information for each employee managed by the salary processing system 1, and specifically includes the "Condition items" and "Amount" items. This "Salary details" item is information that stores information required for calculating the salary of an employee, i.e., information on the conditions for determining the employee's salary, and is configured so that the information on the necessary conditions is set as a record, since conditions differ, for example, the allowances reflected in the salary differ for each employee (for example, only employees in managerial positions are given position allowances).

The information stored in the "Salary Details" item includes items determined within the business, such as "Basic Salary," "Position Allowance," and "Overtime Allowance (/h)," items notified by the local government where the employee lives, such as "Resident Tax," and items determined from past salary payments, such as standard monthly remuneration (not shown).

The "Condition Item" item is information about the conditions for determining the salary of the employee in the "Employee Name" item, and for example, item names such as "Basic Salary" and "Position Allowance" are stored.

The "amount" item is information that indicates the amount corresponding to the "condition item" item. As shown in Figure 4, in some cases, a monthly amount is stored, such as in "basic salary," and in other cases, an hourly rate is stored, such as in "overtime pay (/h)."

Although not shown in the figure, the "Salary Details" item in the salary database 2021 may store information on the standard monthly remuneration category and amount, information on social insurance premiums calculated from the standard monthly remuneration, and information for annual renewal of labor insurance.

The server 20 adds/deletes records to/from the salary database 2021 when an employee joins/retires. The server 20 also updates the "salary details" field in the salary database 2021 when the employee receives a pay increase or decrease, changes in salary type, etc.

Each record in the attendance database 2022 includes an item such as "Employee ID," an item such as "Attendance management status," and an item such as "Attendance details information."

The item "Employee ID" is information that identifies each employee to whom the business pays a salary, who is the subject of management in the payroll processing system 1, and corresponds to the item "Employee ID" in the payroll database 2021.

The item "Attendance management" is information that indicates whether employees paid by the employer, who are the subjects of management in the payroll processing system 1, are subject to attendance management. For example, "Yes" is stored if they are subject to attendance management, and "No" is stored if they are not. Whether or not an employee is subject to attendance management depends on whether they are subject to attendance management, as stipulated by the Labor Standards Act and other laws, but there are cases where they are not subject to attendance management, such as part-time employees, and cases where attendance management is carried out due to legal regulations but is not reflected in payroll calculations, such as in the case of discretionary work systems, and the system determines whether or not to carry out attendance management as needed. If the item "Attendance management" is "No," the item "Attendance detailed information" described below is not stored.

The "Attendance details" item is attendance information for each employee managed by the payroll processing system 1, and specifically includes the items "Date", "Arrival time", "Leaving time", and "Notes". This "Attendance details" item is attendance information for employees for each date, and is stored in chronological order for each "Date" item, for example.

The "Date" item is the date of the attendance information.

The "Work Time" field is information recorded as the time the employee arrived at work on the "Date" field.

The "Time of leaving work" field is information recorded as the time the employee left work on the "Date" field.

The items "Arrival time" and "Leaving work time" store, for example, information obtained from a device that records when an employee arrives at work (a time-stamping device such as a time card), information sent from a mobile device, information recorded by the employee themselves, etc.

The "Notes" item is information that should be added to the "Attendance Details" item, and stores, for example, information about taking leave, working on a holiday, and compensatory time off.

Although not shown in the figure, the attendance database 2022 may store information indicating the number of remaining paid vacation days granted to each employee.

The server 20 adds/deletes records to/from the attendance database 2022 when an employee joins/leaves the company. The server 20 also updates the "Attendance detailed information" field in the attendance database 2022 when the employee clocks in and out.

As shown in FIG. 5, each record in the salary payment history database 2023 includes an item "Employee ID," an item "Employee name," an item "Salary payment details," etc.

The item "Employee ID" is information that identifies each employee to whom the business pays a salary, who is the subject of management in the payroll processing system 1, and corresponds to the item "Employee ID" in the payroll database 2021.

The item "Employee Name" is the name of an employee whose salary is paid by the business and who is the subject of management in the payroll processing system 1, and corresponds to the item "Employee ID" in the payroll database 2021.

The item "Salary payment details" is historical information on the salary paid in the past for each employee managed by the salary processing system 1, and specifically includes the items "Month", "Total amount paid", "Employee pension insurance premium", and "Resident tax". This item "Salary payment details" stores information each time a salary is paid to an employee, and is configured to store the information as monthly information, taking as an example the case of a typical monthly salary payment.

The "Month" item stores the month (including year information) in which the employee was paid.

The "Total Payment" item is information about the total amount of salary paid to employees, and stores, for example, the so-called face value amount before various deductions are made.

The "Employee's Pension Insurance Premium" item is information on the employee's pension insurance premium that is deducted from the employee's salary. This item is shown as an example of social insurance premiums that are deducted from the employee's salary.

The "Resident Tax" item is information on the resident tax that is deducted from an employee's salary. This item is shown as an example of various taxes that are deducted from an employee's salary.

The payroll calculation module 2033 of the server 20 updates the "Payroll payment details" item in the payroll payment history database 2023 as it calculates the payroll of employees.

<3 Operation>
The salary calculation process and standard monthly remuneration change process performed by the salary processing system 1 in the first embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS.

Figure 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of payroll calculation processing by the payroll processing system 1 of embodiment 1.

As a pre-processing for step S111, the input operation reception unit 171 of the terminal device 10 receives an operation to input a user ID and password for authentication required to use the services of the payroll processing system 1 from the business operator (person in charge) who is the user performing the payroll calculation process. The transmission/reception unit 172 transmits the received user ID, password, and user information to the server 20. The server 20 receives the user ID and password via the communication unit 201, confirms that the user ID and password of the user are valid, and performs the specified authentication. If they are valid, the server 20 transmits information on the completion of authentication to the terminal device 10 via the communication unit 201. The transmission/reception unit 172 of the terminal device 10 receives the information on the completion of authentication transmitted from the server 20. The notification control unit 174 displays the received information on the completion of authentication on the display 150, and step S111 is started.

In step S111, the input operation reception unit 171 of the terminal device 10 receives a display instruction to display an operation screen (salary calculation screen) required for performing the payroll calculation process through operation by the user. The transmission/reception unit 172 transmits the received display instruction to the server 20. The transmission/reception unit 172 of the terminal device 10 receives display data for the payroll calculation screen transmitted from the server 20. The notification control unit 174 causes the display 150 to display the received display data for the payroll calculation screen.

In step S121, the server 20 accepts the instruction to display the payroll calculation screen sent from the terminal device 10 via the communication unit 201. The server 20 transmits display data for the payroll calculation screen to the terminal device 10 via the communication unit 201.

In step S112, the input operation reception unit 171 of the terminal device 10 receives a payroll calculation start instruction from a user to instruct payroll calculation. The transmission/reception unit 172 transmits the received payroll calculation start instruction to the server 20.

In step S122, the payroll calculation module 2033 of the server 20 receives the payroll calculation start instruction sent from the terminal device 10 via the communication unit 201. The payroll calculation module 2033 performs payroll calculation based on, for example, the basic pay and various allowances information (payroll information) for each employee stored in the payroll database 2021, and the attendance information (payroll information) for each employee stored in the attendance database 2022.

In step S123, the payroll calculation module 2033 of the server 20 transmits information on the payroll calculation results, such as the total amount of payroll, the total amount of deductions, and the payroll amount (the so-called take-home pay) calculated in step S122, to the terminal device 10 via the communication unit 201.

In step S113, the transmission/reception unit 172 of the terminal device 10 receives the payroll calculation result information transmitted from the server 20. The notification control unit 174 displays the received payroll calculation result information on the display 150.

In step S114, the input operation reception unit 171 of the terminal device 10 receives an instruction from the user to confirm the payroll calculation result and to transmit the payroll payment data. The transmission/reception unit 172 transmits the received information on the confirmation of the payroll calculation result and the instruction to transmit the payroll payment data to the server 20.

In step S124, the salary payment data generation module 2034 of the server 20 receives information on the confirmation of the salary calculation result and the instruction to send the salary payment data, sent from the terminal device 10, via the communication unit 201. Upon confirmation of the received salary calculation result, the salary payment data generation module 2034 generates salary payment data for instructing the transfer of the salary from the business operator's financial institution account (e.g., a current account) to the employee's financial institution account (e.g., a savings account). In response to the instruction to send the salary payment data, the salary payment data generation module 2034 accesses the financial institution server 30 to transmit the generated salary payment data via an API or the like.

In step S115, the input operation reception unit 171 of the terminal device 10 receives an instruction from the user to transmit associated payment data in order to perform various payment processes based on the payroll calculation results. The transmission/reception unit 172 transmits the received instruction to transmit the associated payment data to the server 20.

In step S125, the associated payment data generation module 2035 of the server 20 receives the associated payment data transmission instruction information transmitted from the terminal device 10 via the communication unit 201. The associated payment data generation module 2035 generates payment data for instructing the transfer of social insurance premiums to a social insurance association or the like, or for instructing the transfer of resident taxes to the local government where the employee resides, as associated payment data for instructing the transfer of payments from the business's financial institution account (e.g., a current account) to the payee's financial institution account (e.g., a savings account). In response to the received instruction to transmit the associated payment data, the associated payment data generation module 2035 accesses the financial institution server 30 to transmit the generated associated payment data via an API or the like.

In step S126, the payroll calculation module 2033 of the server 20 stores and updates the payroll calculation results calculated in step S122 in the payroll payment history database 2023.

As described above, payroll processing system 1 calculates the payroll of employees for a specified period (e.g., one month) based on the payroll information required for the calculation of the employee's payroll, such as basic pay and various allowances, and generates and outputs payroll payment data. It also generates and outputs associated payment data for carrying out various payment processes based on the payroll calculation results, such as payment data for instructing the transfer of social insurance premiums to a social insurance association, etc., and payment data for instructing the transfer of resident taxes to the local government where the employee resides. This makes it possible to automatically generate payroll payment data and associated payment data, and automatically output data to be transferred to a financial institution account for payment.

Figure 7 is a flowchart showing another example of the flow of standard monthly remuneration change processing by the payroll processing system 1 of embodiment 1.

The pre-processing of step S211 is the same as the pre-processing of step S111. In step S211, the input operation reception unit 171 of the terminal device 10 receives a display instruction to display an operation screen (salary calculation screen) required for performing the salary calculation process through operation by the user. The transmission/reception unit 172 transmits the received display instruction to the server 20. The transmission/reception unit 172 of the terminal device 10 receives display data for the salary calculation screen transmitted from the server 20. The notification control unit 174 causes the display 150 to display the received display data for the salary calculation screen and information indicating that there has been a change in the salary payment amount.

In step S221, the server 20 accepts a display instruction for the salary calculation screen sent from the terminal device 10 via the communication unit 201. The server 20 sends display data for the salary calculation screen to the terminal device 10 via the communication unit 201. At this time, the judgment result display module 2037 of the server 20 sends a display instruction to the terminal device 10 via the communication unit 201 to display information indicating that there has been a change in the salary payment amount.

In step S212, the input operation reception unit 171 of the terminal device 10 receives a display instruction to display a list of employees whose salary payment amount has changed by a predetermined amount or more due to a user operation. The transmission/reception unit 172 transmits the received display instruction to the server 20 to display the list of employees.

In step S222, the salary amount fluctuation determination module 2036 of the server 20 receives a display instruction, sent from the terminal device 10, via the communication unit 201 to display a list of employees whose salary payment amount has fluctuated by a predetermined amount or more. The salary amount fluctuation determination module 2036 extracts employees whose salary payment amount has fluctuated by a predetermined amount or more based on the result of determining for each employee whether or not the salary payment amount for that employee has fluctuated by a predetermined amount or more.

In step S223, the judgment result display module 2037 of the server 20 transmits the information on the list of employees whose salary payment amount has changed by more than a specified amount, which was extracted in step S222, to the terminal device 10 via the communication unit 201.

In step S213, the transmission/reception unit 172 of the terminal device 10 receives the list information of employees whose salary payment amount has changed by more than a specified amount, transmitted from the server 20. The notification control unit 174 displays on the display 150 the list of employees whose salary payment amount has changed by more than a specified amount.

In step S214, the input operation reception unit 171 of the terminal device 10, with a list of employees whose salary payment has changed by more than a specified amount displayed on the display 150, receives from the user an instruction to generate the necessary data to correspond to the change, specifically, to generate document data for an "Insured Person Monthly Remuneration Change Notification" to be submitted to revise the standard monthly remuneration as needed, for each employee or for all employees displayed in the list. The transmission/reception unit 172 transmits the received instruction information to generate the document data to the server 20.

In step S224, the change response data generation module 2038 of the server 20 receives instruction information for generating document data sent from the terminal device 10 via the communication unit 201. Based on the received instruction information for generating document data, the change response data generation module 2038 generates document data for an "Insured Person Monthly Remuneration Change Notification" to be submitted to a specified organization (such as a health insurance association) to revise the standard monthly remuneration amount as needed. The change response data generation module 2038 transmits the generated document data to the terminal device 10 via the communication unit 201.

In step S225, the change response data generation module 2038 of the server 20 updates the records in the salary database 2021 regarding any revisions to the standard monthly remuneration amount.

As described above, payroll processing system 1 determines whether there has been a specified or greater fluctuation in an employee's payroll amount based on the payroll amount, and if there has been a fluctuation, displays information indicating this on the terminal device. When it receives instructions from a user to generate the necessary data to correspond to the fluctuation, it generates the necessary data, for example document data for revising the standard monthly remuneration as needed. This makes it possible to see at a glance whether various processes are required in response to fluctuations in payroll amount, and to carry out various processes as necessary.

<4 Screen example>
Hereinafter, examples of screens for the salary calculation process and the standard monthly remuneration change process by the salary processing system 1 will be described with reference to Figs.

<Summary>
As described above, according to this embodiment, the payroll of an employee for a specified period is calculated based on the payroll information required for the payroll calculation, and payroll payment data is generated and output. In addition, associated payment data for carrying out various payment processes based on the payroll calculation results is generated and output. Therefore, it is possible to automatically generate payroll payment data and associated payment data, and automatically output data to be transferred to a financial institution account for payment. This makes it possible to efficiently carry out payroll calculation processes.

The system also determines whether there has been a specified or greater fluctuation in the employee's salary payment amount based on the salary payment amount, and if there has been a fluctuation, displays information indicating this on the terminal device. When an instruction to generate the necessary data corresponding to the fluctuation is received from the user, the necessary data is generated. This makes it possible to see at a glance whether various processes are required in response to fluctuations in salary payment amount, and to carry out various processes as necessary.

In addition, if there is a change in the amount of salary paid to an employee that exceeds a certain level, a notification will be displayed on the operation screen used to start payroll calculations. This makes it possible to see at a glance that various processes are required in response to changes in salary payments.

Second Embodiment
Other embodiments of the payroll processing system 1 will now be described.

<1 Overall configuration of payroll processing system 1>
Fig. 12 is a diagram showing the functional configuration of the server 20 constituting the payroll processing system 1 of the second embodiment. The overall configuration of the payroll processing system 1 and the configuration of the terminal device 10 in the second embodiment are similar to those in the first embodiment, and therefore will not be described repeatedly. The configuration of the server 20 is similar to that in the first embodiment, except that it is newly provided with the function of a support system availability determination module 2039, as shown in Fig. 12. The function of the support system availability determination module 2039 in the second embodiment will be described below.

The support system availability determination module 2039 controls the process of determining whether or not there has been a change in the support system information available to the business operator, based on the status of salary payment to employees calculated by the salary calculation module 2033. Examples of support system information available to the business operator include subsidy systems for companies (e.g., IT subsidies) and grant systems for employment promotion for business operators. In order to apply for such subsidies or grants, certain requirements are set for the employees employed, so the support system availability determination module 2039, for example, references the information on employees stored in the salary database 2021 and determines whether the requirements are met and the application is possible.

In this embodiment, when the support system availability determination module 2039 determines that it is possible to apply for a subsidy or grant, the determination result display module 2037 transmits information indicating this to the terminal device 10 and displays it. This allows the user to recognize that it is possible to apply for a subsidy or grant.

<2 Data Structure>
The data structure in the second embodiment is similar to that in the first embodiment, so it will not be described repeatedly.

<3 Operation>
The operation of the second embodiment is similar to that of the first embodiment, and therefore will not be described repeatedly.

<4 Screen example>
The screen examples in the second embodiment are similar to those in the first embodiment, so they will not be described repeatedly.

<Summary>
As described above, according to this embodiment, whether or not the support system information available to the business operator is available is determined based on the status of salary payment to employees, and the information is presented to the user. Therefore, the business operator can recognize that it is possible to apply for a subsidy or grant. This allows the business operator to effectively use the subsidy or grant system that is advantageous for the business operator's business.

Although the disclosed embodiments have been described above, they can be embodied in various other forms and can be implemented with various omissions, substitutions, and modifications. These embodiments and variations, as well as omissions, substitutions, and modifications, are included in the technical scope of the claims and their equivalents.
