| Hi Rashna, can you expand on the following: - Discuss the option of using multi-company, one for processing Internal Employees, and another for Client Employees
- Setup an environment with some data, e.g. GL Accounts, Employees etc so we can see the Normal Pay groupings
- Move sections of the document that are already compliant to the Appendices section. The document should be specific to changes
- Move Test cases to Appendices
- Change Bullet Points to numbering and cleanup document formatting
- Label the tables
- Correct table layout
