This is going to vary greatly, so I'm trying to achieve flexibility.  You
would set up the various commission rates per employee.  I.e., hardware sales
- 10%, consulting revenue - 20%, then the pay period entry form will allow
entry of time stats like 8 hours sick time, the hardware sales for the
employee, and their consulting revenues.  The next employee in the list could
be a salaried accountant, who wouldn't have any commissions.

Calculations will be based on what applies for an individual employee, and
the pay period data entered.

Reporting options are infinite.  If it's in the db, it can be extracted,
filtered, and sorted any way that is necessary.
