1. Business Description (Database Requirements)

The Payroll Software is designed to manage employee payroll information, including employee details, salary calculations, tax deductions, and payment records. The system should allow HR personnel to add, update, and delete employee records, calculate salaries based on hours worked, manage tax deductions, and generate payroll reports. The database must ensure data integrity, support multiple payment methods, and provide easy access to historical payroll data.

2. A List of Entities

Employee
- Attributes: EmployeeID (PK), FirstName, LastName, DateOfBirth, HireDate, Position, DepartmentID (FK), Salary
Department
- Attributes: DepartmentID (PK), DepartmentName, ManagerID (FK)
Payroll
- Attributes: PayrollID (PK), EmployeeID (FK), PayPeriodStart, PayPeriodEnd, GrossPay, NetPay, TaxDeduction
Tax
- Attributes: TaxID (PK), TaxName, TaxRate
PaymentMethod
- Attributes: PaymentMethodID (PK), MethodName

3. A List of Relationships

Employee to Department: Many-to-One (Many employees belong to one department)
Employee to Payroll: One-to-Many (One employee can have multiple payroll records)
Payroll to Tax: Many-to-Many (A payroll record can have multiple tax deductions, and a tax can apply to multiple payroll records)
Employee to PaymentMethod: Many-to-One (Many employees can use one payment method)

4. ER Diagrams

(Note: Replace with actual ER diagram)

5. Schemas

CREATE TABLE Department (
    DepartmentID INT PRIMARY KEY,
    DepartmentName VARCHAR(100),
    ManagerID INT
);

CREATE TABLE Employee (
    EmployeeID INT PRIMARY KEY,
    FirstName VARCHAR(50),
    LastName VARCHAR(50),
    DateOfBirth DATE,
    HireDate DATE,
    Position VARCHAR(50),
    DepartmentID INT,
    Salary DECIMAL(10, 2),
    FOREIGN KEY (DepartmentID) REFERENCES Department(DepartmentID)
);

CREATE TABLE Payroll (
    PayrollID INT PRIMARY KEY,
    EmployeeID INT,
    PayPeriodStart DATE,
    PayPeriodEnd DATE,
    GrossPay DECIMAL(10, 2),
    NetPay DECIMAL(10, 2),
    TaxDeduction DECIMAL(10, 2),
    FOREIGN KEY (EmployeeID) REFERENCES Employee(EmployeeID)
);

CREATE TABLE Tax (
    TaxID INT PRIMARY KEY,
    TaxName VARCHAR(100),
    TaxRate DECIMAL(5, 2)
);

CREATE TABLE PaymentMethod (
    PaymentMethodID INT PRIMARY KEY,
    MethodName VARCHAR(50)
);

6. Normalization

1NF: All tables have unique identifiers (Primary Keys) and atomic attributes.
2NF: All non-key attributes are fully functionally dependent on the primary key.
3NF: No transitive dependencies exist; all attributes are dependent only on the primary key.

7. Table Creation and Data Entry (Using SQL Statements)

-- Create Department Table
INSERT INTO Department (DepartmentID, DepartmentName, ManagerID) VALUES (1, 'HR', NULL);
INSERT INTO Department (DepartmentID, DepartmentName, ManagerID) VALUES (2, 'IT', 1);

-- Create Employee Table
INSERT INTO Employee (EmployeeID, FirstName, LastName, DateOfBirth, HireDate, Position, DepartmentID, Salary) 
VALUES (1, 'John', 'Doe', '1985-06-15', '2020-01-10', 'Developer', 2, 60000.00);

-- Create Payroll Table
INSERT INTO Payroll (PayrollID, EmployeeID, PayPeriodStart, PayPeriodEnd, GrossPay, NetPay, TaxDeduction) 
VALUES (1, 1, '2023-01-01', '2023-01-15', 3000.00, 2500.00, 500.00);

-- Create Tax Table
INSERT INTO Tax (TaxID, TaxName, TaxRate) VALUES (1, 'Federal Tax', 15.00);
INSERT INTO Tax (TaxID, TaxName, TaxRate) VALUES (2, 'State Tax', 5.00);

-- Create PaymentMethod Table
INSERT INTO PaymentMethod (PaymentMethodID, MethodName) VALUES (1, 'Direct Deposit');

8. Sample Run (Create at Least 4 Queries)

-- Query 1: Get all employees in the IT department
SELECT * FROM Employee WHERE DepartmentID = 2;

-- Query 2: Calculate total payroll for a specific pay period
SELECT SUM(GrossPay) AS TotalPayroll 
FROM Payroll 
WHERE PayPeriodStart = '2023-01-01' AND PayPeriodEnd = '2023-01-15';

-- Query 3: List all employees with their corresponding departments
SELECT e.FirstName, e.LastName, d.DepartmentName 
FROM Employee e 
JOIN Department d ON e.DepartmentID = d.DepartmentID;

-- Query 4: Get payroll details for a specific employee
SELECT * FROM Payroll WHERE EmployeeID = 1;

9. Project Summary

The Payroll Software database has been designed to efficiently manage employee payroll information. The conceptual model was transformed into a relational model, ensuring normalization to eliminate redundancy. The database schema was created, and sample data was inserted. Queries were developed to demonstrate the functionality of the database, allowing for easy retrieval of employee and payroll information.
