1. Study: This process allows R SYSTEMS to understand your payroll policies to implement the project. This process consists of conducting interviews with key personnel in to understand: Payroll policies Process workflows Data preparation for payroll processing Reports generated for distribution and filing Time and processing cycle requirements
	2. Document: This process documents the procedures for your payroll processes When is your monthly cut-off date How are transactions forwarded for payroll processing What reports to be generated for distribution and filing When are the pay-stubs updated Which bank is to be used for crediting employees' salaries ACH and GIRO processes What media is to be used for Tax submissions Who is responsible for Tax submissions Who will answer employees' queries What is the formal communication channel between the your operations and us How do we safeguard the payroll data
	3. Best Practices: Upon understanding and documenting your payroll processes, R SYSTEMS will recommend industry best practices to streamline your processes to increase productivity and efficiency. System customizations Reengineering processes Introducing automation
	4. Tweaking Input Forms: In this process, we will design input forms for payroll processing. The input form may take on many variations to accommodate different situations, for example: New Employees Resignations, including date resigned and any allowances or deductions to be processed Promotions, including date promoted, new salary & effective date and any new allowances to be paid Transfer, including new department & effective date and any new allowances to be paid Allowances / Deductions to be processed Overtime hours
	5. Data Conversion: The data conversion process defines the tasks and deliverables required to convert your database. The objective of the data conversion process is to convert and test all data that is available, feasible to obtain and necessary for the operation of new applications. The first step of this process is to explicitly define what data is required for conversion. The converted data will be needed for the production migration.
	6. Customization: This process includes customizing, commissioning and testing of sub-modules and hardware with procedures and processes required to perform your payroll processing activity. System customization, commissioning of time reader, hardware and application and the testing of the overall application with trial data is essential to the success of the implementation project.
	7. Production Migration: The objective of the production migration process is to transfer your data into R SYSTEMS. The production migration process encompasses transition to production readiness and production cutover. R SYSTEMS will perform the production setup and the data conversion to get the system ready for production migration. Your project team will also be responsible for production support.
	8. Parallel Run: R SYSTEMS will perform parallel runs to ascertain that our payroll computation is consistent with your existing payroll computation. By comparing payroll reports generated from R SYSTEMS and your existing payroll application, we will fine-tune all inaccurate and incorrect settings on the payroll application
	9. Go Live! Live run will commence upon the completion of the implementation processes.
