Hi Rashna, can you expand on the following:

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