Need help interpreting this project

$

This project description is really confusing to me. What exactly am I suppose to do? If anyone can give me a hint of how many tables I'll need that would be a great start.

Dependent columns:

First Name Last Name Family Spouse Dependent 1 Dependent 2 Dependent 3 Dependent4

Employee columns:

EmpFirst EmpLast HireDate City State Salary HealthInsurance Family

This small startup company, Deko is growing, and little has been done to organize company information.

Currently, two Excel workbooks and a bunch of Word documents are used to manage employee information.

The EMPLOYEE workbook stores employee information. The DEPENDENTS workbook stores specific information related to employee families/dependents.

Employees are periodically evaluated and the information is recorded in a form that is stored as a Word document.

Each Evaluation Form is currently filed by employee name in their hardcopy folder in the office’s file cabinet. There is no system to manage the annual review, nor any indication when an employee’s review is due. New salaries and commission rates are set each year for each employee, but there is no procedure to track annual salaries, commission rates, nor “when” for anybody.

The company needs to start tracking birth date information for each employee and each dependent. This information is not currently included anywhere.

Clearly, relationships among any resulting/required tables are necessary.

THE TASK

Create the necessary RELATED tables to improve the existing system.
Don’t bother creating forms or reports.
