Wage Fact Set
A Wage Fact Set, abbreviated WFS, is the structured, evidence-governed factual input set used by a Wage Computation Function to support WAGECODE computation.
Why WFS structure matters
A WFS makes the factual basis of a wage computation explicit, scoped, time-located and inspectable, so that the computation can be governed and replayed.
Reference-field summary
A WFS commonly expresses:
- fact identifier
- subject or population scope
- source reference
- source or evidence class
- effective date or interval
- wage category
- policy relevance
- jurisdiction relevance
- contradiction status
- provenance metadata
- completeness state
- confidence metadata where applicable
- replay reference where applicable
Completeness and contradiction
A WFS may be incomplete, disputed or internally contradictory. Those conditions must remain express. Inclusion of a fact does not automatically establish its truth, legal effect or authority.
WFS versus evidence pack
An evidence pack may contain documents. A WFS expresses the wage-relevant facts, provenance, scope, temporal position, completeness and contradiction posture required for governed computation. The two are not interchangeable.
Relationship to computation
A WFS is the governed input to a Wage Computation Function, which under declared bindings produces a Canonical Wage State Object.
Boundaries
A WFS is not a CWSO, a runtime record, a payroll export, certification or a legal determination.
