**USIU-Africa Payroll System**\n\nThe USIU-Africa Payroll System is a web-based application designed to simplify and streamline payroll management for a hypothetical university in Kenya.\n\nThe system automates payroll processes, including salary computations, statutory deductions, and payslip generation, while ensuring compliance with Kenyan regulations.\n\n## **Features**\n\n- **Employee management**: Manage employee profiles with details such as name, department, job role, salary structure, and tax information.\n- **Payroll calculation**: Automatically calculate salaries based on predefined structures, including allowances, bonuses, and statutory deductions like NHIF and NSSF contributions.\n- **Tax computation**: Accurately compute PAYE deductions based on Kenyan tax brackets.\n- **Payslip generation**: Generate digital payslips with detailed salary breakdowns, deductions, and net pay.\n- **Role-based access control**: Secure data with role-specific permissions for administrators, HR personnel, finance staff, and employees.\n\n## **Screenshots**\n\n### **Login Page**\n![Login page](usiu/images/login_page.png)\n\n### **Dashboard**\n![Dashboard](usiu/images/main_dashboard.png)\n\n### **Manage Employees**\n![Employee management](usiu/images/manage_employees_page.png)\n\n### **Manage Departments**\n![Department

calculation](usiu/images/payroll_calculations_page.png)\n\n### **Payslip**\n![Sample payslip](usiu/images/payslip_sample.png)\n\n## **Technologies Used**\n\n- **Java**: Handles business logic, payroll calculations, and backend services.\n- **Spring Boot**: Provides the framework for dependency injection and web application setup.\n- **Thymeleaf Templates**: Enables dynamic content rendering and seamless integration with backend services.\n- **Bootstrap**: Ensures a responsive and user-friendly interface.\n- **MySQL**: Primary database for storing employee records, payroll data, and tax information.\n\n## **Setup Instructions**\n\n### **Prerequisites**\n\n1. **Java Development Kit (JDK 21 or higher)**: Ensure Java is installed and set up on your system.\n2. **MySQL Server**: Set up the database to store payroll and employee information. I used MySQL Workbench.\n3. **Apache Maven**: For managing dependencies and building the application.\n\n### **Steps to Set Up**\n\n1. **Clone the Repository**\n   ```bash\n   git clone https://github.com/lizardcat/usiu-payroll-system.git\n   cd usiu-payroll-system\n   ```\n2. **Set Up the Database**\n   - Create a MySQL database and configure the connection details in `application.properties`:\n     ```properties\n     spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/usiu_payroll\n     spring.datasource.username=admin\n     spring.datasource.password=admin\n     ```\n3. **Install Dependencies**\n   ```bash\n   mvn install\n   ```\n4. **Run the Application**\n   ```bash\n   mvn spring-boot:run\n   ```\n5. **Access the Application**\n   Open your browser and navigate to:\n   ```\n   http://localhost:8080\n   ```\n\n## **Future Enhancements**\n\n- Implement additional reporting features for payroll analytics.\n- Add support for exporting payroll data to Excel or PDF formats.\n- Introduce two-factor authentication for added security.\n- Expand tax computation to accommodate changes in Kenyan regulatory requirements.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Flizardcat%2Fusiu-payroll-system","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Flizardcat%2Fusiu-payroll-system","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Flizardcat%2Fusiu-payroll-system/lists"}
