Requirements

Company employees are categorized into three categories with their relative ID's as follows:

1. Regular
2. Part timer
3. Freelancer

Payroll calculations are composed of the following categories - category (data type / employee type applied for):

• Salary (positive number / all)
• Tax (float percentage number / Regular and Part timer)
  • 0% below $7000
  • 5% above $7000 till $10,000.00
  • 7.5% above $10,000.00 till $50,000.00
  • 10% above $50,000.00
• Social Security (float percentage / Regular)
  • Employee share is 14% for basic salary.
  • Company share is 26% of basic salary.
• Loans (Positive number for request, negative for setlement / Regular)
• Insentives (Positive number / Regular, Part-timer)

Equations

1. Taxes = (salary - Social Security, Employee share + Incentives) * Tax Rate
2. Social Security
   1. Employee Contribution = Basic salary * 14%
   2. Company Contribution = Basic * 26%
3. Net Amount = salary + loan + incentive - tax - Social Security (Employee Cont.)
4. Cashbox = Cash box - Salaries
5. Cash short = Salaries - Cash box

Use sample_data.xlsx for full calculation details.

You need to create an application that applys above rules, and print out the following amounts:

• Total amount of salaries
• Total amount of taxes
• Total amount of Social security.
• cashbox amount after salaries
• cashbox short amount if any.

Usage

• Please Fork the project to your repository
• Use the run.sh or run.bat scripts to run your implementation, on linux or windows environments respectively as follows:

  • Change to the php/ or python/ directory as required.

  • Exucute the run script as illustrated below.

    Linux

    $./run.sh [datafile]

    Windows

    C:>run.bat [datafile]

  • Use the script without any inputs to use the default datainput sample.txt

  • You can pass a relative path or full path to other input files or a single filename in the formentioned format in order to have a new test.

  • Several data input files available for your use in the format of datainXX.txt with relative output in the format of dataoutXX.txt.

• Issue a Pull Request to the same repository to submit your assessment implementation.

Inputs

First line you will get N number of employees in first line, and cash box amount available on hand in the second line, then employees data each in separate line which is composed of the following:

number_of_employees 
cashbox_amount
employee_id employee_type salary loan incentive

Explanation:

Employee 1:

Social Security Employee Contribution (sse) = salary * 0.14 
                                            = 5000.00 * 0.14 = 700.00

Social Security Company Contribution (ssc)  = salary * 0.26 
                                            = 5000.00 * 0.14 = 1300.00

Social Security Tatal Amount (ss)           = sse + ssc 
                                            = 700.00 + 1300.00 = 2000.00

Tax                                         = salary * 0 
                                            = 5000.00 * 0 = 0

Net Amount                                  = salary + loan + incentive - tax - sse 
                                            = 5000.00 + 5000.00 + 300.00 - 0.00 - 700.00 = 9600.00

Employee 2:

Social Security Employee Contribution (sse) = salary * 0.14 
                                            = 9000.00 * 0.14 = 1260.00

Social Security Company Contribution (ssc)  = salary * 0.26 
                                            = 9000.00 * 0.26 = 2340.00

Social Security Tatal Amount (ss)           = sse + ssc 
                                            = 1260.00 + 2340.00 = 3600.00

Tax                                         = salary * 0 
                                            = 9000.00 * 0.05 = 450.00

Net Amount                                  = salary + loan + incentive - tax - sse 
                                            = 9000.00 + 0.00 + 1000.00 - 0.00 - 700.00 = 8290.00

Notes

• Select the language that you want to use either php or python
• Don't update any function difinitions in App class
• Run application using provided run.sh script
• Provide data file to the run.sh script or use default sample.txt
• "run.sh" script attempts to find the sample data file in local directory first, then in data directory.
• Develop unit tests to test your implementation.
• Fork the repository and add a pull request to submit the assignment.
• Use spreadsheets in data directory as a sample data and calculations
