neighbor

WM-ORG-005 - The unified registry supplies WM-ORG-005 as a provisional parent signal only. Organization and employment governance remain external and no settled containment edge exists.
Payroll run versus payee compensation result - A run groups calculation and control context; each payee result has its own worker binding, components, values, states, access and correction lineage.
Compensation terms, inputs, calculated result and payment - Terms authorize possible remuneration, source records evidence activity or eligibility, calculation derives values and payment systems execute instructions; none proves another.
Tax, benefit, filing, remittance and accounting records - Payroll binds source-qualified external records and rule profiles; calculated or filed values never prove authority acceptance, remittance settlement, benefit delivery or ledger posting.
Jurisdiction and interoperability standards - Each labour, tax, reporting, payment, statistical, privacy or schema source covers a scoped profile; every mapping is version-pinned and loss-declaring.
