What does the database show?
For each employee, the table may show:
Annual rate of pay: This is the employee’s official rate of pay per year. It may not be the same as the actual wages, as it typically does not take into account overtime, bonuses, furloughs or other factors that might have caused an employee’s actual wages to increase or decrease.
