Abstract

N.S.S.F is a Non banking Financial Institution whose main function is to provide it~s members with social security depending on certain factors such as retirement, attainment of the stipulated age limit or inability to work due to some certain circumstances. The number of employees is approximately 1600 distributed throughout the country with a greater percentage stationed at the headquarters in Nairobi. Currently the personnel records are not computerised and a large number of staff are employed to manage and monitor these records. Due to the present expansion within the organisation and the expansion programme in future, the Personnel division of the Personnel and Admin1atration department have realised the need to have a computer aided personnel record system in order to manage,monitor and control the division more effectively and efficiently. In order to achieve this goal it will be necessary to do a comprehensive systems analysis and design which is part of the subject matter of project.
