Confidential Records m




As the payroll clerk, your task is to protect the privacy and confidentiality of the information you
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




maintain for the company. If a student group—or any personnel aside from the company’s payroll
m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m




employees and officers—wishes to review confidential records, you should deny their request. If

needed, you should refer the group to your department’s manager to discuss the matterin more

Large vs. Small
m m




1. Large companies face issues with multiple departments, employee access to online
m m m m m m m m m m




personnel portals, employee data security, and timekeeping accuracy.

2. For small companies, payroll processing will involve fewer employees than for larger
m m m m m m m m m m m




companies. Smaller companies could maintain their payroll needs using company
m m m m m m m m m m




personnel because of the lower volume of transactions. Larger companies need to
m m m m m m m m m m m m




consider their available trained payroll accountants and other staff to determine if they
m m m m m m m m m m m m m




can reliably handle the volume of payroll needs in a timely and accurate manner.
