MIT Data Warehouse PAYROLL IN PERIOD Table


Information about payroll IN-period, including the type of payroll (monthly vs.weekly), service start and end dates, payment date, etc. "In-period" specifies the period in which a payroll runs, as opposed to the "For-period" which specifies the period for which the person is paid. 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.
