Funny, as this feature has existed since 1.7.X...

But no, GnuCash has no payroll feature at the moment.  One could posit
that GncEmployee would tie into the payroll feature once one exists.
I don't think it would necessarily tie into the Employee Expense Voucher
per se.  I would leave that decision up to the developer who actually
created the payroll subsystem.  However I would definitely expect the
payroll system to use GncEmployee.

One thing to keep in mind is the plugability of tax tables.  It would
be /nice/ if the tax tables were an addon module (maybe even in scheme)
to allow easy changing of numbers.
