Charles,

I found that link interesting.
Application Time Period tables...
Worked with an application in which the pay rate table had a composite key 
of employee number and date.  Made querying interesting.  Think of getting 
a list of employees pay rates for your department.  Especially if someone 
keyed in a pay rate adjustment coming up in the future.  Not impossible, 
just something to be aware of.
