Do you think a good place to start would be to add an gnc_employeeType
and a to your class _gncEmployee? Then we could create an editable
member of the tax class to match the companies Labor and Industry's
employee classification. Then would it be wise to add a business class
to gncBusiness.c to include a member like ( gnc_BusinessIndustry and
gnc_BusinessRating for unemployment rates ) or something? Is there a
class for different Job descriptions already? We already know that FICA
and Medicaid are pretty much uniform but still should be adjustable.
