The intention of the convention is to make the element names as transparent and human readable as possible whilst maintaining a consistent pattern and keeping their lengths to a minimum.
- All element names are based on the SFS Data Entry Excel
- All 'short words' have been removed (e.g. &, and, or)
- Where an element name contained additional content defined in parenthesis this been removed
- All spaces have been replaced with hyphens
- All letters are lowercase
- All 'other' costs elements use their immediate patent element name - e.g other-professional
- All 'total' elements use their immediate parent element name - e.g. total-earnings (this sometimes differs from their name on the Excel file)
- Some element names have been shortened or restructured to simplify them and maintain consistency - e.g. 'Total salary and wages per month' appears as 'total-earnings'
