Hi Chris. Your forward plan looked realistic to me, mainly for two
reasons: you did not try to include:

 1. taxes
 2. payroll.

Both these are an enormous can of worms, essentially for the same
reason: different places have hugely different types of rules. In some
places its relatively simple, in others its a nightmare. Both need to be
handled by fairly separate specialist applications/modules. I think this
project has plenty on its plate as it is without doing too much in
either area. Better to keep the core simple/generic and try to design in
interfaces for the operational side of taxes and payroll to be written
as separate subprojects.

My 2c worth.
