[GNC] Payroll - basic

[flywire]

The simple payroll Richard described applies pretty well and rapidly in a
shearing shed when as soon as the last sheep goes down the chute they are
counted and shearers paid.

btw, it would have been useful to add that if the features Richard wants
are not supported by the .chk file format, changes would have to be made
directly in the C++ source code. GnuCash completely replaced the old
Scheme-based code for check layouts with these text-based configuration
files. While they are described in
https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v5/C/gnucash-guide/check_format_info.html many
users will have to re-interpret their specific file locations according to
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Locations

Alternatively, perhaps AI could generate an external script, probably from
a GnuCash book saved in a SQL format.
