View Period Unit - A summary of the activity

A period unit refers to a fixed period of time. A period unit can be a week, a day or an hour. A period unit is used to define the frequency of the payroll calendar; computations of pay, calculating the attendance of an employee, etc, are all based on period units. Each period unit is made up of smaller units of time called base period units.
