I was a computer programmer in the days of the mainframe. That's where I saw the benefit of computers. The long list of employees during payday is a big task for the HR employees. They have to compute manually the salaries of each of the 2,000 employees. That usually takes 2 to 3 days for the 2 staff to work on the payroll. With a computer program the task is finished in just 5 minutes that includes the printing of the payroll register.
