Our automated payroll systems go a long way to helping to facilitate payment. However, they are lacking in the traceability aspect. Below is an example transaction that shows money that was debited to an employee, as well as various withholdings that are either associated with the employee or the institution:

From this transaction alone, it is impossible to know why these items were withheld, yet we should have the information for that. For example, we should be able to at least put the Indice in the memo field. So you might consider seeing this transaction have the following description(s):

"Withholding of 3000FC for Electricty" "Withholding of 8000FC for Avance sur Salaires" "Payment of 91,000FC for Prime de Risque Locale" "Credit of 80,000FC to employee account"

Or something along those lines. The numbers are not necessarily important (we have them in the debit/credit fields, but the idea of telling why something is being added or removed, and associating the relevant rubric would be helpful.
