Note that this is the PERPETUAL HISTORY not CHECK History

Always amazed at how many clients this is not turned on for. Perpetual history is so useful for so many reporting requirements. On the plus side, this file is not purged of terminated employees at YE as is the employee master. ON the negative, you can reuse the employee number and it will like the former employee's records.
