05 / CONTROL
Core business rules
These rules protect the operational record and make future backend implementation less ambiguous.
Attendance
Payroll uses approved attendance records. Corrections require manager approval and an audit entry.
Payroll
Monthly employees are prorated by approved payable days when applicable. Daily employees are paid for approved days worked.
Payroll formula
Net pay = Base pay + Overtime + Incentives - Deductions - Advances.
Billing
Prices and tax rates are stored as invoice-line snapshots so historical invoices never change.
Table release
A table becomes free only after payment is confirmed and the active session is closed.
