Overview:

This project is for a TV Show Production company based in New York. This system is a mini ERP which connects Staff to Payroll.

Project Description:

The system we built has the following components:

1. Staff Management – Manages all staff contact information, Staff Onboarding, Hourly Rates, and Time Sheets.
2. Timecards Management – This is a weekly timecard with day to day working details of an employee. Each timecard will be approved/rejected by the approver who is assigned based on the staff’s Job Title.
3. Payroll Processing – Based on the Timecards and with the Rate and job classification each staff’s salary will be calculated every fortnight and will be processed for payroll.
4. Asset management – Manages all Asset information with usage, service history.
5. Floor plan – A 3D drawing of the company. In this, we can view where the desk is located and who is allocated to that desk.
