CHAPTER I
1.0 Introduction
Todays technology is continuously growing, improving and evolving. In line with
this, the use of systemized processes have grown and these processes have been very helpful
and critical in the worlds daily activities and make our work and tasks easier. Though the
demand for better and faster technology is never ending, we have been able to break the
limits that we formerly could not even tap. Companies and businesses of different kinds have
already been using and improving their services because of the systems they are using.
Employee Management makes it easy to check and track human resources at the press
of a button. It makes the system easy to monitor and manage employees from a different
location. This system helps in supervising employees work report and productivity.

Imagine having every essential piece of information about your projects and clients neatly
organized in a single system, easily accessible at all times from a single dashboard. That
centralized insight is what a good employee management system offers. NE Vogt D. (2016,
February 19) Employee Management System: Why and How to Start Using One. Retrieved
from http://blog.hubstaff.com/employee-management-system.
Inquiry
Inquiry can be done in two ways. The former, directly going to Villa Saluds office as
a Walk-In Applicant. The Applicant can ask an office representative about the services that
Villa Salud offers. The Office representative gives the client the packages available to the
client and lets the client decide on what choice of package the client would like to avail. The
latter, would be contacting Villa Salud via their local hotline number and cell phone number.
Villa Salud also has their own Facebook Page should they find the convenience of contacting
them on the net.
Scheduling of Event
After the clients had inquired and confirm their plans to have their event catered. The
Office will get the date, the package, and the venue that the client wants. For indoor events,
Villa Salud provides Villa1 and Villa2 that can accommodate 100 guests, Second Floor for 75
guests and Swimming Pool Area for 50 guests. For outdoors events, Villa Salud let the client
choose their venue, but the client will have to pay an additional P1000 for venues within
Taguig City. If the venue is outside of Taguig, the additional fee will depend on the location.
If the venue is still too far away (e.g. Transportation via Sea & Air) the client must pay for
the Service Crews transportation fee. If client and the office had cleared all informations, the
client signs the contract and can pay either cash or down payment. Lastly, the Office reserves
the date in their big calendar where all the upcoming events information are only written and
then the Office department summarize the upcoming events in Microsoft Word and will print
copies to be distributed to the other Departments which often times causes problems when
the said copies are lost or misplaced, ripped, or wet. Villa Salud also uses Excel in auditing
their transactions.
Scheduling of Employee
All of Villa Saluds employees are on-call except for their Office Department who
have their duties every day. Villa Salud deploy an average of 2-3 waiters, together with the
supervisor per event. The helpers are only assigned during outdoor events but the number of
helpers depends on how many materials are to be used and how many packs of food are
needed. The Office uses separate columnar books for each department. These columnar books
contain all employee information including their contact numbers, schedule of availability
and address. The HR gets the employees columnar books and look for available employees.
The HR scan and call employees one by one either active or not with a maximum of five
calls. The HR and the Office takes too much time in this process in finding employees
status/availability to complete the list/roster of employee. All the employees schedule must be
settled 3 days before the event.
Checking of Materials
Every event will have a certain call time whether it be outdoor or indoor. The Service
Crew are the ones who get the materials and setup the venues for indoor events, for outdoor
events, helpers are assigned in order to aid the Service Crew. The assigned employees should
first proceed to the Office to log in. Then Service Crew will get the materials from the storage
that will be used in the particular event. Once the Service Crew get the materials, the
Supervisor will check the materials (e.g. utensils, chairs etc.) if complete, then the Service
Crew will proceed in the setup. During the event, the supervisor overlooks the operation and
service of his/her colleagues. The supervisor will monitor and take note of employees
remarks on their performance.
After the event is done, the supervisor will check again if the materials are complete.
The employees will go back to the office, then the office will record the employee remarks
that the supervisor had taken note of. If the office see that an employee has damaged a
material, the employee will have an option to pay in full or it will be deducted in their salary.
Billing
The payments and billings differ based on the package that the client had chosen.
Clients can pay in full or in instalments/down-payments. Discounts must first be asked for the
owners approval (E.g. relative, close friend or employee relative). The client can pay 50% of
the total payments a month before the event but all payments must be settled 1 week before
the event. There will be no refund in Villa Saluds payments. Villa Salud do not accept card
payments, until the client shows them a Deposit Slip. Initial down-payment for catering
depends on how big the event is. That will be the time that the office will issue BIR receipt.
Rescheduling of event
Villa Saluds office will reschedule events if their client encountered a problem or
emergency, but it depends on their reason. (E.g. Natural Calamities, Death of a relative) the
office will bring it to the owner for approval. If the client had decided to reschedule the event
beforehand, the client will still pay for the venue and the time slot that the client had
reserved. There will be no refunds.
Resignation of Employees
If the employees decide to resign or leave, employee must settle balances and debts if
the employee had broken something. After that, the office will provide a clearance form to be
fill up from the said employee.
Salary of Employees
The salary of employees depends on the position of the said employee. All of Villa
Saluds employees gain their salaries every week, except for the Service Crew Department.
The Service Crew Department obtain their salaries right after the event at the office. The
bonuses for the employees also varies depending on the position, if the employees are a
regular employees, will gain more benefits and bonuses (e.g. Christmas Bonus, Event
discount, health benefits) from Villa Salud.
The information that Villa Salud uses for their employees are organized but it is exposed
to anyone (e.g. Columnar Book). Villa Salud only use a big Calendar in reserving and
scheduling upcoming events. Then print copies of the summarized schedules and the said
copies are distributed to the other departments. The information are also prone to being lost
or misplaced, erased, torn or wet. Villa Salud also uses only Microsoft Excel in auditing their
transactions, which doesnt have enough security.
book in this process, one columnar book for each department and because of this it will be
time consuming for the HR to look for employees who will be available at a said date.
they need to scan the different columnar books and look for the employees attendance and
their services/performance.
The researchers aim to secure and protect the data/information of Villa Saluds employees
and events, and to provide a safe way in recording and changing them. This will be of great
help in assuring the safety of and integrity of the information.
To check the availability of employees and aid in finding them and make sure that there
will be fairness in assigning the employees and to reduce the amount of time rendered in
scheduling employees.
To inform the users in monitoring the employees that are still in service and the ones who
have left or resigned. This will help them filter and search for the employees still serving
Villa Salud.
SCOPE
The study will cover employee information. The study will also include the
scheduling of employees in a particular event and adding of client events. The study will also
cover checking of materials and reports such as Event report. The study will also cover the
updating of list of employees, promotion, salaries and bonuses.
LIMITATION
Though Villa Salud has an efficient process in conducting their billing and receipts for
events. The study will not include the billing and issuance of receipt, recruitment of
employees and online inquiry.

According to the study, The Catering business is one of the most lucrative and
profitable home businesses with a high potential for expansion and growth. It is both
financially rewarding and fun. Each catered event whether birthday parties for children,
breakfast in bed and intimate candlelight dinners for two, company dinner parties for 50 and
wedding receptions involving a hundred or more guests is a new experience and challenge
with a new group of people. Whether it is a catering event on a full time or part-time basis,
the opportunities are excellent.

Initial Planning
The proponents first held meetings and planned ahead of time. The proponents also
looked for other researches that will give better details on how to conduct the study.
Planning
The proponents first observed various businesses involving the study. The proponents
conducted the first interview with Ms Lina Cardozo who is a Secretary in the Office
Department. The researchers obtained information needed and studied the business process in
order to understand how Villa Salud handles their business.
Testing
The proponents test the study continuously in order to find errors and fix the errors
early. The proponents made use of MySQL Server 2012 for the database and Visual Study
2010 and C# as the studys programming language.
Evaluation
The researchers plan to have Ms Lina Cardozo evaluate the system because she will
be one of the benefactors once the system is implemented or used. The researchers will also
have to test for errors and adjust in case Ms Lina has some suggestions.
CHAPTER IV
4.0 Data Gathering Procedures
Data Gathering Procedures emphasizes on the different strategies and activities used
by the proponents in gaining data in order to conduct the study. The data gathered will be the
data manipulated and secured by the study.
Interview
The proponents sent a letter to Villa Salud in order to inform Villa Salud of the study
to be proposed. The proponents had interviews with Maam Lina Cardozo. The proponents
prepared questions regarding Villa Saluds background, operations & processes. The
proponents also asked how Villa Salud handles their employees/staff.
Research
Before the interview, the proponents had done research to gain information on the
study and to think of how to approach or handle the study. The proponents also formulated
questions for the interview. The proponents made use of books, Theses, and the Internet
which gave the proponents information.
Observation
The proponents have observed and searched for various companies/ business who will
be the focus of the study. The proponents tried to find companies that would benefit from this
study in the near future.
CHAPTER V
5.0 Software/Project Estimation
Software estimation is important in a study because it helps manage and project the
effort and the time proponents/researchers put into a study. It is a critical piece in conducting
a study because it helps balance the work and set goals or aims for the study periodically.
Effective software project estimation is one of the most challenging and important
activities in software development. Proper project planning and control is not possible
without a sound and reliable estimate.
