[0016] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

[0017] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example configuration of a salary design system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0018] The salary design system 1 includes a server 3, a management terminal 5, a first user terminal 7, a second user terminal 8, and a third user terminal 9. Information processing apparatuses in the salary design system 1 can communicate with each other. In each information processing apparatus, a processing unit can be realized by, for example, a processor that operates under control of a program.

[0019] The server 3 calculates the salary payment amount of a salary recipient using data input from the management terminal 5, the first user terminal 7, the second user terminal 8, and the third user terminal 9. Hereinafter, it is assumed that there are three salary recipients: A, B, and C. In this example, the server calculates the payment amount for a part of the work-based salary allowance using data input from the first user terminal 7, the second user terminal 8, and the third user terminal 9. In the present invention, the allowance for which the payment amount is calculated may be any allowance included in at least one of a basic salary, a work-based salary, and a cost-of-living-based salary.

[0020] The server 3 includes a basic salary processing unit 11, a work-based salary processing unit 13, a cost-of-living-based salary processing unit 15, a salary calculation processing unit 17, and a server storage unit 19.

[0021] The work-based salary processing unit 13 includes a basic work-based salary processing unit 21, a setting processing unit 23, a server input processing unit 25, and a confirmation processing unit 27.

[0022] The management terminal 5 is a terminal through which an administrator (for example, a person such as a manager whose position is higher than the salary recipients A, B, and C) performs data input / output processing.

[0023] The management terminal 5 includes a management input / output unit 31, a management output processing unit 33, a management input processing unit 35, and a management supply display processing unit 37.

[0024] The first user terminal 7, the second user terminal 8, and the third user terminal 9 are operated by payees A, B, and C, respectively. Below, we will explain an example in which server 3 uses data entered from the first user terminal 7 to calculate a portion of payee A's allowance. The second user terminal 8 and the third user terminal 9 will not be explained in detail, but they can be implemented with a configuration similar to that of the first user terminal 7.

[0025] The first user terminal 7 includes a user input / output unit 41, a user output processing unit 43, a user input processing unit 45, and a user supply display processing unit 47.

[0026] The operation of the payroll design system 1 shown in Figure 1 will be explained with reference to Figures 2 through 13.

[0027] The inventors are proposing a "salary design" system, which is a compensation system that moves away from the measure of time and instead assigns compensation to tasks to increase productivity.

[0028] The biggest source of workplace dissatisfaction is related to salary. It is essential for management to take a proactive approach to addressing this dissatisfaction. The solution to salary-related complaints is to make salary standards transparent. Furthermore, it is crucial that these standards are linked to work performance, salary, and employee motivation.

[0029] In salary design, salaries are divided into living wages, base salary, and job-based pay. For simplicity, let's explain this in the case of employee salaries.

[0030] Living wage and basic salary are compensation for individuals, guaranteed regardless of work performed, and play a role in ensuring the livelihood of employees.

[0031] Living wages are allowances that are not directly related to work performance, such as family allowances, housing allowances, and educational allowances. The living wage processing unit 15 calculates the amount of living wage to be paid to each employee from the allowances set according to each employee.

[0032] Basic salary is set with the purpose of ensuring a stable minimum standard of living for employees and guaranteeing a sense of security. Examples include age-based pay, which is paid according to the employee's age, and experience-based pay, which is paid according to the number of years of work experience (including previous jobs). The basic salary processing unit 11 calculates the amount of basic salary to be paid to each employee based on the age and years of experience set for each employee.

[0033] Job-based pay is compensation for work performed, linked to performance improvements, and is a variable compensation for the work that management expects employees to do. Examples of job-based pay include qualification allowances, job-specific allowances, and incentive allowances.

[0034] Qualification allowances are paid to employees based on the qualifications they possess that are expected to be necessary for improving labor productivity. The basic work pay processing unit 21 calculates the amount of qualification allowance for each employee based on the qualifications held by each employee.

[0035] Job allowances are set for tasks that the company expects to improve labor productivity. Examples of job allowances include position allowances, sales job allowances, and development job allowances. The basic job pay processing unit 21 calculates the amount of job allowance to be paid to each employee based on the job duties set for each employee.

[0036] Incentive allowances are set up as a way to link mutual expectations between management (the company) and employees to motivation. Salary design involves identifying work that leads to future growth, increases productivity, and improves results, and setting allowances accordingly. Incentive allowances can be said to best express the philosophy behind salary design. While simple tasks are incentivized by compensation, autonomy is the incentive for improving productivity. Current managers need opportunities to communicate with employees and develop incentive programs together.

[0037] In the examples shown in Figures 2 through 13, management and employees communicate repeatedly to clearly establish the criteria for some or all of the incentive allowances. The setting processing unit 23 sets the established allowance criteria based on input from the management terminal 5. The server input processing unit 25 collects the work results of the payees from the first user terminal 7, second user terminal 8, and third user terminal 9 through the operations of payees A, B, and C, and calculates the amount of allowance to be paid using the allowance criteria established together with the payees. Employees can accumulate allowances based on their own perceived allowance criteria and the work results they report, moving beyond the measure of time. Furthermore, the work results of the payees collected from the first user terminal 7, second user terminal 8, and third user terminal 9 serve as work reports and function like work logs. Management can understand the daily activities of each payee through reports from them.

[0038] The payroll processing unit 17 calculates the total amount of basic salary, work-related pay, and living-related pay calculated by the basic salary processing unit 11, the work-related pay processing unit 13, and the living-related pay processing unit 15, respectively, for each payee, and uses this sum as the pay amount for each payee.

[0039] Furthermore, the allowances for which the payment amount is calculated according to the present invention may be included in living wages, basic wages, or work-related wages.

[0040] Figure 2 shows the allowance criteria set by the setting processing unit 23 in Figure 1. There are three types of allowance criteria set by the setting processing unit 23: the numerical input method in Figure 2(a), the point addition method in Figure 2(b), and the point method in Figure 2(c).

[0041] The numerical input method determines the payment amount using numerical data entered by the employee. Here, we will explain using the example of entering monetary amounts (sales, receipts, etc.). The criteria for the allowance may also include, for example, the time spent working or the number of times worked. Managers can evaluate the work of employees by using the total time spent working, the total number of times worked, and the total amount entered, which are calculated by statistical processing of the entered numerical data.

[0042] Referring to Figure 2(a), in this example, allowances α and β are set as allowances for all employees (salaried employees) using a numerical input method. The payment amount is calculated by performing arithmetic operations on the input value using three coefficients. In setting up the system, it is possible to obtain test results using test values ​​as input values. Allowance α is related to A, and the payment amount is determined by subtracting 2,000 yen from the input value and multiplying by 0.1. Three coefficients can be set, but since only two coefficients are used, the third coefficient is set to 1.0. By using calculations with multiple coefficients, it is possible to clearly set the basis for allowances, for example, by subtracting the cost from the input value to calculate the share for the team or individual employees. Allowance β is related to A and B, and the payment amount is determined by multiplying the input value by 0.6, 0.4, and 0.8. Of that, 70% is paid to A and 30% to B according to the ratio set as the basis for the allowance.

[0043] The point-based system determines the payment amount using predetermined values ​​instead of the numerical values ​​entered in the numerical input system. Administrators can statistically process the data and use the total number of times performed, the total value obtained by summing set values, etc., to evaluate the work of the employees receiving the salary.

[0044] Referring to Figure 2(b), in this example, two types of allowances, Company A's allowance and Company B's allowance, are set up as point-based allowances for all employees. The payment amount is calculated by performing arithmetic operations on the set value using three coefficients. For Company A's allowance, A is involved, and the payment amount is determined by subtracting 2,000 yen from the set value and multiplying by 0.3 and 0.8. By using calculations with multiple coefficients, the allowance criteria can be clearly defined. For Company B's allowance, A and C are involved, and the payment amount is determined by subtracting 3,000 yen from the input value and multiplying by 0.3 and 0.9. Of this, 70% is paid to A and 30% to C, according to the percentage set as the allowance criteria.

[0045] The point system determines the rank and payment amount based on the total points entered.

[0046] Referring to Figure 2(c), in this example, points are set for cleaning and greetings performed by the pay recipients in the morning, based on the theme of "morning activities." Cleaning involves everyone (A, B, and C), and points are calculated by multiplying the pay recipient's input value by 2. Greetings also involve everyone, and points are calculated by multiplying the set value of 1 by 1.

[0047] Referring to Figure 2(d), in this example, points calculated for cleaning and greetings are used to determine the grade and payment amount based on the total points at the end of the month, and the payment is made the following month. The payment date for the point system may also be the bonus payment date. Three grades are set. For all employees (A, B, and C), if the total points are 50 points or less, they are in Grade 1 and the payment amount is 0 yen. For all employees, if the total points are between 51 points and 250 points, they are in Grade 2 and the payment amount is 1,000 yen. For all employees, if the total points are 251 points or more, they are in Grade 3 and the payment amount is 2,000 yen.

[0048] Furthermore, in the present invention, for the numerical input method, the point addition method, and the point method, multiple major categories of allowances may be provided, and multiple minor categories of allowances may be set for the themes of each major category. For example, for the point method of allowances, major categories such as "morning activities" and "casual conversation" may be set, and points may be set for multiple minor categories of allowances for each major category, and the grade may be calculated according to the points in each major category of allowance to determine the amount of payment.

[0049] The configuration processing unit 23 sets the allowance standards described in Figure 2 based on the allowance standards created together with the payees, which are input from the management terminal 5, and stores them in the server storage unit 19.

[0050] The management terminal 5 is managed by the administrator and includes a management input / output unit 31, a management output processing unit 33, a management input processing unit 35, and a management supply display processing unit 37.

[0051] The management input / output unit 31 includes a display, keyboard, mouse, touch panel, etc., and is used for input / output processing with the administrator.

[0052] The management output processing unit 33 performs processing to output information to the management input / output unit 31.

[0053] The management input processing unit 35 processes the information input to the management input / output unit 31.

[0054] The management payment display processing unit 37 performs processing in the management input / output unit 31 to display information regarding the salaries to be paid to each payee managed by the server 3.

[0055] When the administrator inputs the allowance criteria established with the payee into the management input / output unit 31, the management input processing unit 35 transmits information to the setting processing unit 23 to identify the allowance criteria. The setting processing unit 23 uses the received information to set the allowance criteria as shown in Figure 2 and stores it in the server storage unit 19.

[0056] Figures 3, 4, and 5 are diagrams illustrating the process for inputting information corresponding to each allowance at the first user terminal 7.

[0057] The first user terminal 7 is, for example, an information processing device such as a smartphone owned by employee A, and performs information processing using an application. The present invention may also be implemented by, for example, employee A logging in and operating a web page on a personal computer. By logging in, employee A can input and output information to and from server 3 as employee A. The first user terminal 7 comprises a user input / output unit 41, a user output processing unit 43, a user input processing unit 45, and a user payment display processing unit 47.

[0058] The user input / output unit 41 is, for example, a touch panel, and is used for input / output processing with employee A who is eligible for salary.

[0059] The user output processing unit 43 performs processing to output information from the user input / output unit 41.

[0060] The user input processing unit 45 processes the information input to the user input / output unit 41.

[0061] The user payment display processing unit 47 performs processing in the user input / output unit 41 to display information regarding the salaries to be paid to each payee managed by the server 3.

[0062] The first user terminal 7 has a date selection mode for selecting the date on which to enter allowances, and an allowance input mode for entering information corresponding to each allowance.

[0063] Referring to Figure 3, when employee A launches the app and logs in (either automatically or manually), the app enters date selection mode (step STA1). The user output processing unit 43 displays a message indicating that employee A can select a date in date selection mode.

[0064] Figure 4 shows an example of the screen display in date selection mode. A calendar is displayed, and you can select the date for entering information about the allowance by tapping on it. In this example, today's date is underlined, and a circle is displayed on the days for which allowance information has already been entered.

[0065] Referring to Figure 3, the user input processing unit 45 determines whether a date has been selected (step STA2). The user output processing unit 43 displays the date selection mode until a date is selected. Once a date is selected, the process proceeds to step STA3, and the system enters the allowance input mode. The user output processing unit 43 displays the allowance input mode until the input of allowance information is completed. Once the input of allowance information is completed, the user output processing unit 43 returns to step STA1 and enters the date selection mode.

[0066] Figure 5 shows an example of the screen display in the allowance input mode.

[0067] Figure 5(a) shows the initial display of the allowance input mode. The user output processing unit 43 displays the selected date. The user output processing unit 43 displays the titles of the major allowance categories set for employee A, namely "Allowance Child," "Allowance Ox," and "Allowance Tiger," in display fields 161, 162, and 163, respectively. Below, the OK button 107 and the Cancel button 109 are displayed.

[0068] Figure 5(b) shows the state after employee A taps the ▽ mark displayed in display fields 161, 162, and 163 along with the title of the major allowance category, thereby displaying the expanded display fields 164, 165, and 166.

[0069] The expanded display area 164 shows "Allowance" as the title, and a triangle mark is displayed to return to the state of display area 161. Then, for "Allowance α" and "Allowance β," which are subcategories of allowances included in Allowance, checkboxes are displayed to determine whether or not employee A can select them, and a numerical input field is displayed for entering values.

[0070] The expanded display area 165 shows "Allowance Ox" as the title, and a triangle mark is displayed to return to the state of display area 162. Then, checkboxes are displayed to allow employee A to decide whether or not to select "Company A Allowance" and "Company B Allowance," which are subcategories of allowances included in Allowance Ox.

[0071] The expanded display area 166 shows "Allowance Tiger" as the title, and a triangle mark is displayed to return to the state of display area 163. Then, checkboxes are displayed to allow employee A to decide whether or not to select the allowances "Cleaning" and "Greetings," which are subcategories of allowances included in Allowance Tiger. A numerical input field is displayed for entering a value for "Cleaning."

[0072] Figure 5(c) shows the state after employee A has entered information for each allowance. In the expanded display field 164, employee A selects allowance α and enters 20,000 yen, and selects allowance β and enters 15,000 yen. In the expanded display field 165, employee A selects Company A allowance and Company B allowance. In the expanded display field 166, employee A selects cleaning allowance and greeting allowance, and enters 5 points for cleaning allowance.

[0073] When employee A taps the OK button 107, the user input processing unit 45 sends the information entered by employee A to the server 3, completing the input of information regarding the allowance. The user output processing unit 43 exits the allowance input mode (sets YES in step STA4 in Figure 3) and returns to step STA1.

[0074] When employee A taps the Cancel button 109, the user input processing unit 45 discards the information entered by employee A and ends the input of information related to allowances. The user output processing unit 43 ends the allowance input mode (sets YES in step STA4 in Figure 3) and returns to step STA1.

[0075] Furthermore, each allowance may include a section for supplementary information, where the payee A can record notes or other supplementary information, as needed.

[0076] Figure 6 is a flowchart showing an example of processing by the user input processing unit 45 when employee A enters information about allowances and taps the OK button 107.

[0077] The user input processing unit 45 waits until the OK button 107 is pressed (step STB1).

[0078] When the OK button 107 is pressed (resulting in YES in step STB1), the user input processing unit 45 determines whether or not employee A has modified the information already registered (step STB2). If there are no modifications, the process proceeds to step STB4. If there are modifications, the modified parts are identified (step STB3), and the process proceeds to step STB4.

[0079] In step STB4, the user input processing unit 45 determines whether employee A has added new information regarding allowances. If new allowances have been added, the process proceeds to step STB5. If no allowances have been added, the process proceeds to step STB11.

[0080] In step STB5, the user input processing unit 45 determines whether or not there are any newly added allowances that use a numerical input method. If there are no allowances that use a numerical input method, the process proceeds to step STB7. If there are allowances that use a numerical input method, the process associates the specified evaluation item with the entered numerical value and identifies it (step STB6), and then proceeds to step STB7.

[0081] In step STB7, the user input processing unit 45 determines whether or not there are any newly added allowances that use a point-based system. If there are no allowances that use a point-based system, the process proceeds to step STB9. If there are allowances that use a point-based system, the specified evaluation items are identified (step STB8), and the process proceeds to step STB9.

[0082] In step STB9, the user input processing unit 45 determines whether or not there are any newly added allowances that use a point system. If there are no point-based allowances, the process proceeds to step STB11. If there are point-based allowances, the process identifies the specified evaluation item (or the entered numerical value if necessary) (step STB10) and proceeds to step STB11.

[0083] In step STB11, the user input processing unit 45 sends the information identified in steps STB3, STB6, STB8, and STB10 to the server 3. The process returns to step STB1.

[0084] Figure 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing performed by the server when it receives the information sent by the user input processing unit 45 in step STB11 of Figure 6.

[0085] The server input processing unit 25 waits until it receives information from the user input processing unit 45 (step STC1).

[0086] When the server input processing unit 25 receives information (if the result is YES in step STC1), it determines whether employee A has modified the information already registered (step STC2). If there is no modification, it proceeds to step STC4. If there is a modification, it modifies the already registered information for the identified modification, performs calculations according to the modification (step STC3), and then proceeds to step STC4.

[0087] In step STC4, the server input processing unit 25 determines whether employee A has added new information regarding allowances. If there are newly added allowances, the process proceeds to step STC5. If there are no newly added allowances, the process returns to step STC1.

[0088] In step STC5, the server input processing unit 25 determines whether there are any newly added allowances that use a numerical input method and / or a point-based method. If there are neither numerical input nor point-based methods, the process proceeds to step STC7. If there are numerical input methods and / or point-based methods, the specified evaluation items (including the entered numerical values ​​in the case of numerical input methods) are managed, the payment amount is calculated (step STC6), and the process proceeds to step STC7.

[0089] In step STC7, the server input processing unit 25 determines whether or not there are any newly added allowances that use a point system. If there are no point-based allowances, it returns to step STC1. If there are point-based allowances, it manages the specified evaluation items (including the entered numerical values ​​if necessary), calculates the points, and returns to step STC1.

[0090] Figure 8 shows an example of information managed by the server input processing unit 25 regarding allowance information newly entered by employee A based on Figure 5. The server input processing unit 25 stores the managed information in the server storage unit 19.

[0091] Figure 8(a) shows the allowances using a numerical input method.

[0092] The first row is managed by the server input processing unit 25 based on the information entered in the expanded display field 164 in Figure 5(c). The date indicates the selected date (see step STA2 in Figure 3). "Allowance α" is selected, and the evaluation item is "Allowance α". The input amount entered in the numerical input section is "20,000 yen". The three calculations and coefficients are set by the setting processing unit 23 for Allowance α (see Figure 2(a)). The server input processing unit 25 performs calculations using the calculations and coefficients on the entered amount to determine the payment amount (see step STC6 in Figure 7).

[0093] The second and third rows are managed by the server input processing unit 25 in relation to the information entered in the expanded display field 164 in Figure 5(c). Information for managing the two in relation to each other is omitted. The date indicates the selected date (see step STA2 in Figure 3). Payee A has selected "Allowance β", and the evaluation items are "Allowance β(A)" and "Allowance β(B)". The second and third rows manage "Allowance β(A)" and "Allowance β(B)", respectively. The amount entered in the numerical input section is "15,000 yen". The three calculations and coefficients are set by the setting processing unit 23 for Allowance β (see Figure 2(a)). The server input processing unit 25 performs calculations using the calculations and coefficients on the entered amount and determines the payment amount according to the ratio (see step STC6 in Figure 7).

[0094] Figure 8(b) shows the allowance system based on points.

[0095] The first row is managed by the server input processing unit 25 based on the information entered in the expanded display field 165 in Figure 5(c). The date indicates the selected date (see step STA2 in Figure 3). The "Company A" allowance is selected, and the evaluation item is the "Company A" allowance. The set amount is "10,000 yen". The three calculations and coefficients are set by the setting processing unit 23 for the "Company A" allowance (see Figure 2(b)). The server input processing unit 25 performs calculations using the calculations and coefficients on the set amount to determine the payment amount (see step STC6 in Figure 7).

[0096] The second and third rows are managed by the server input processing unit 25 in relation to the information entered in the expanded display field 165 in Figure 5(c). Information for managing the two in relation to each other is omitted. The date indicates the selected date (see step STA2 in Figure 3). The "Company B" allowance has been selected by employee A, and the evaluation items are "Company B (A)" and "Company B (C)". The second and third rows manage "Company B (A)" and "Company B (C)", respectively. The set amount is "10,000 yen". The three calculations and coefficients are set by the setting processing unit 23 for the "Company B" allowance (see Figure 2(b)). The server input processing unit 25 performs calculations using the calculations and coefficients on the set amount and determines the payment amount according to the ratio (see step STC6 in Figure 7).

[0097] Figure 8(c) shows the points-based system for bonuses.

[0098] The server input processing unit 25 manages information related to point-based allowances based on the information entered in the expanded display area 166 in Figure 5(c). The date indicates the selected date (see step STA2 in Figure 3). "Cleaning" and "Greetings" are selected. For "Cleaning," the points entered in the numerical input section are managed. For "Greetings," the set points are managed (see Figure 2(c)). The calculations and coefficients are set by the setting processing unit 23 (see Figure 2(c)). The server input processing unit 25 performs calculations using calculations and coefficients on the entered and set points to obtain the total points (see step STC8 in Figure 7).

[0099] Figure 9(a) shows an example of the allowance display mode on June 16th when employee B logs into server 3 using the second user terminal 8, in the state shown in Figure 8. Employee B has settings for the numerical input method "Allowance β(B)" and the point-based "Cleaning" allowance and "Greeting" allowance. Of these, "Allowance β(B)" was specified by employee A, with the numerical value "15,000 yen" entered, and is managed by server 3. Therefore, server 3 displays this information to employee B. On the other hand, since employee B has not entered the points-based "Cleaning" allowance and "Greeting" allowance, they are displayed as not entered.

[0100] Figure 9(b) shows an example of the allowance display mode on June 16th when employee C logs into server 3 using the third user terminal 9, in the state shown in Figure 8. Employee C is set up for the point-based "Company B (C)" allowance, and for the point-based "cleaning" allowance and "greeting" allowance. Of these, "Company B (C)" was designated by employee A and is managed by server 3. Therefore, server 3 displays this to employee C. On the other hand, since employee C has not entered information for the point-based "cleaning" allowance and "greeting" allowance, they are displayed as not entered.

[0101] Figure 10 is a flowchart showing an example of processing by the verification processing unit 27.

[0102] The administrator operates the management terminal 5 to display the information managed by the server input processing unit 25 on the management payment display processing unit 37 and confirms whether or not to pay each allowance entered by the payee. If the administrator determines that the payment conditions for a certain allowance have been met and that the allowance should be paid, the administrator operates the management input / output unit 31 to input that the allowance has been confirmed. The payment conditions may include, for example, that payment has been received for the sales that form the basis for the payment of the allowance. The management input processing unit 35 sends confirmation information to the server 3 that identifies the allowance that has been confirmed to be paid.

[0103] The confirmation processing unit 27 waits until it receives confirmation information from the management terminal 5 that identifies the allowance that has been confirmed to be paid (step STD1).

[0104] If the confirmation processing unit 27 receives confirmation information from the management terminal 5 (YES in step STD1), it determines whether the allowance confirmed to be paid includes a numerical input method and / or a point addition method (step STD2). If the allowance confirmed to be paid does not include either a numerical input method or a point addition method, the process proceeds to step STD4. If it includes a numerical input method and / or a point addition method, the process instructs the management terminal 5 to input the payment date, has the server input processing unit 25 manage the entered payment date as well (step STD3), and then proceeds to step STD4.

[0105] In step STD4, the confirmation processing unit 27 determines whether the allowance confirmed to be paid includes a point system. If the allowance confirmed to be paid does not include a point system, the process returns to step STD1. If it does include a point system, the grade is calculated based on the total points at the end of the month for the points calculated for cleaning and greetings, and this is managed in conjunction with the confirmation of payment to the server input processing unit 25 (step STD5), and the process returns to step STD1.

[0106] Figure 11 shows an example of the state after the confirmation process by the confirmation processing unit 27 has been performed, when the server input processing unit 25 was managing the system in the state shown in Figure 8. The administrator inputs on the management terminal 5 that it has been confirmed that payments for each allowance have been made, that the payees have actually performed the work, and so on. In addition, for the numerical input method and the point addition method, the payment date is entered. The payment date is the date on which the salary (including bonuses) is paid, for example, the regular salary payment date (for example, daily or monthly payment dates), the bonus payment date, etc. In this example, it is assumed that on June 19th, confirmation of payment was made for allowance β in Figure 8(a), Company A allowance in Figure 8(b), and "cleaning" and "greetings" in Figure 8(c).

[0107] In Figure 11(a), the confirmation processing unit 27 manages that for employees A and B, the "allowance β" was confirmed on June 19, and the entered payment date is July 25, which is the regular payday in July. Note that the second and third rows in Figure 11(a) are managed in relation to each other, so both manage whether the payment has been confirmed or not, but the payment dates may be different.

[0108] In Figure 11(b), the verification processing unit 27 manages that for employee A, the "Company A Allowance" was confirmed on June 19, and the entered payment date is July 25, which is the payday for the following July.

[0109] In Figure 11(c), the verification processing unit 27 manages that the "cleaning" and "greeting" were confirmed for employee A on June 19th. The verification processing unit 27 calculates the grade and payment amount based on the total points earned from cleaning and greeting over a predetermined period (e.g., end of month).

[0110] Figure 12 shows an example where, while the server input processing unit 25 was managing the data in the state shown in Figure 11, employee A corrected the already entered value for allowance α.

[0111] When employee A operates the first user terminal 7 and taps June 16th in the date selection mode to expand the display fields in the allowance display mode, the display shown in Figure 5(c) is displayed. Employee A taps the numerical input field for "Allowance α" in the expanded display field 164, corrects the amount to 30,000 yen as shown in Figure 12(a), and taps the OK button 107. The user input processing unit 45 identifies the corrected area (step STB3 in Figure 6) and sends it to the server 3 (step STB11).

[0112] The server input processing unit 25 identifies the area to be corrected, corrects the input amount of allowance α as shown in Figure 12(b), calculates the payment amount, and manages it (step STC3 in Figure 7).

[0113] Figure 13 shows an example of a case where the allowance criteria set by the setting processing unit 23 are changed.

[0114] The setting processing unit 23 sets the coefficient used for subtraction as the basis for the allowance α, which is 2,000 yen until June 17th, and then changes to 3,000 yen from June 18th onwards.

[0115] Employee A selects June 19th, expands the display fields, taps the numerical input field for "Allowance α" in the expanded display field 164, enters 10,000 yen as shown in Figure 13(b), and taps the OK button 107. In this case, the server input processing unit 25 calculates the payment amount using the changed coefficient as shown in Figure 13(c). Since the server input processing unit 25 also manages the calculations and coefficients before the change, even if the allowance criteria are changed, it does not affect allowances already entered for June 17th or earlier.
