The security is of utmost importance in the payroll management system. The information in the payroll system should be secured and confidential.

Strong authorization procedure should be inbuilt in the system to ensure that except eligible person no one is allowed access in the system.

As can be seen that firstly, the employees have been classified under full time and casual categories as the payment to the employees vary depending on their status of employment. It is clear that John Ryan and Janice Wright are only full time employees of the fast food restaurant whereas other three employees, namely Robert Jones, Mary Jacobs, and Rebecca Wong are casual employees (Shoham, Bank, Cobbe, Matta, Rubin, Weiner & Toft, 2015). In fact Rebecca Wong is under 17 worker for the restaurant and accordingly, her wage rate is different from the other employees. The hourly wage rates are different for day evening and night shift (Lim, 2016). The hourly rate of wages also varies during week days and weekends. Taking into consideration all these the calculation of gross pay has been made. The total number of hours worked by these employees on different days have been determined as cab ne seen in the above template as well as brief calculation table provided above (Angeles, 2015). Accordingly, appropriate rate of wages has been ascertained based on the day when the employees have worked. Multiplication of appropriate hourly wage rates with the number of hours worked during a particular day has helped in calculating the gross wage of that particular day (Goetsch & Davis, 2014). By following this method the total weekly gross pay has been calculated for the fulltime and casual employees. It is also important to mention that the level of employees are different as some belongs to level 1 whereas some belongs to level 3. Since the wage rate varies on the basis of the level of an employee hence it was important to determine the appropriate level of all employees accordingly, the level of all employees have been determined to use appropriate hourly wage rate pot calculate gross pay of the works and employees of fast food restaurant (Vos & Slavin, 2015).
