A payroll seems less complicated.

A decent payroll system is possibly one of the *most* difficult systems to try and do.
Boys usually start it and then realise there is much more than they had originally thought.
The projects I have listed are there because they are realistic & achievable by students at your level, in the time frame we have available.
If you *REALLY* want to do a payroll system then chat to me / email individually about it, explaining your reasons.
