Each piece of work for a batch processing system is called a job. A job usually consists of a program and the data to be run.
Jobs are stored in job queues until the computer is ready to process them.
There is no interaction between the user and the computer while the program is being run. Computers which do batch processing often operate at night.
Example : Payroll - when a company calculates the wages for its workforce and prints payslips.
