Methodology
Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).
8 of the 31 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 23 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 0 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.
The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source for each breakdown it prices, in day (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 8 figures, never sentences; 214 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.
The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): the RESOLVED grid nobody publishes: gov.uk states the rule (the FPS on or before payday, the EPS by the 19th, the payment by the 22nd electronic or the 19th by post, quarterly for a sub-£1,500 employer, the annual dates at 31 May, 6 July, 19/22 July and 5 July / 19-22 October) and leaves the reader to work out the date; this dataset holds one row per payday per obligation with the actual calendar date after the tax-month boundary, the weekend and the nation's own bank holidays have been applied, plus whether that tax year has a week 53 - and the derivation across the rows is the count of deadlines in the year that MOVE off their nominal day, and by how many days, which is what an employer is actually exposed to
214 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
