Most employees in the Bay-
town plants look forward to pay
day. But, very few give any
thought to the many steps in-
volved in the preparation of their
pay check. It is really quite a
production.
W hat happens each pay pe-
riod, from signing lime cards,
delivering to payroll accounting,
going through computers, and
mailing to employees, is shown
in this photographic tour.
R. C. Beeman, audit and attest, operates a machine called a burster
which automatically imprints the authorized signature and separates
the checks. Accounting employees Betty Haltom, C. F. Ruckman, and
Bettie Simmons, who is pictured in the background, put checks in
envelopes before they are taken to the mailroom and sent out.

Charles Hignite operates a ma-
chine which takes a box of pre-
numbered blank checks and prints
them at the rate of 1,000 lines per
minute. Printed checks are then
turned over to the audit and attest
section for separation and signature.
lmg
After the cards are keypunched and verified, Operator J. R. Krenick
transfers information on the cards to magnetic tape. Cecil Lawrence
is s own getting a tape ready for the computer. From this tape, the
in ormation is fed to a large computer so that calculations can be
made to produce the checks.
E
Checks are sent through the mail
each pay day to employees’ homes
or directly to the bank. D. E.
Chasteen, Oil Movements, sym-
bolizes the final step in the com-
panies’ pay check preparation and
distribution—getting the check to
the employees.
V
The payroll functions illus-
trated here are for hourly em-
ployees in Process, and other
departments where a time card
is used for payroll source input
data.
Salaried employees and other
hourly employees’ pay checks re-
quire most of the same functions
outlined here, the main differ-
ence being the methods used for
payroll input data.
