Period inputs
The variables that change pay for one period only: days, absence, overtime and more.
Period inputs are the figures that change pay for one period only. In Vintage People they sit in one grid per pay period: days worked, full pay for a mid-period joiner, absence days, lateness, overtime hours, one-period allowances and the 13th month choice. A blank cell follows the normal rules. The approved run keeps a copy of what was entered, so later edits never change an approved payslip.
