The objective of this project is to develop a secure payroll management system integrated with Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). The system ensures authorized access to sensitive employee and salary data, automates payroll processing, and helps students gain practical experience in secure application development and database management.
Study payroll system requirements and prepare a Software Requirement Specification (SRS).
Design system architecture and workflow for payroll processing.
Create database schema for employees, roles, salary structures, attendance, and payroll records.
Implement secure authentication and authorization using RBAC (admin, HR, Employee roles).
Develop modules for employee management, salary calculation, and payslip generation.
Implement password encryption, session handling, and secure login mechanisms.
Automate payroll calculations including basic pay, allowances, deductions, and taxes.
Restrict access to payroll data based on assigned user roles and permissions.
Design user-friendly and responsive interfaces for different user roles.
Integrate backend logic using Java / Python / PHP / Node.js as per curriculum.
Validate inputs and secure the system against common vulnerabilities (SQL Injection, XSS).
Perform unit testing, integration testing, and security testing.
Generate payroll reports and downloadable payslips.
Prepare project documentation including ER diagrams, DFDs, and test cases.
Deploy and demonstrate the system in a local or cloud environment.
