MIT Data Warehouse PAYROLL FOR PERIOD Table


Information about payroll FOR-period, including the type of payroll (monthly vs.weekly), service start and end dates, payment date, etc. "For-period" specifies the period for which the employee is paid, as opposed to the "In-period" which specifies the period in which the payroll runs. The two are usually identical, e.g., an employee paid in August 2006 for his work in August 2006, but can be different, as in case of retroactive adjustments, when an August payroll may be recalculated in September. In this case the For-period will be August, and the In-period, September.
