Actually, it is feasible. It is possible to do this still. Solve it with a model to start and chain the calculation events. You can re-iterate based on the different situations. The design, when thought through, can be accommodating such variations. It is definitely a lot of work (dont get me wrong). If this was not feasible, there would be no Payroll vendors. :)

We agree.
My point is that the models are brittle because every entity (govt, unions, etc) has different definitions for every one of the "common" terms, can change their definitions, and the scope is very context and usage dependent.
