# clsPolicyPeriod

`clsPolicyPeriod` is a single term of coverage on a policy. It carries the effective and expiration dates that bound the term, the plan, rating and risk codes that price it, the group and chapter attributes that place it in a group programme, the employer-liability limits it was written at, and the final evaluation date used downstream. Periods are what let the rest of the library answer questions about a policy as at a particular date rather than only as at today.

## Purpose

- Describes one term of coverage on a policy, including the dates that bound it ([Retrieve policy header](../../operations/retrieve-policy-header.md)).
- Reports whether it is the current or the renewal period, which is how consumers pick a period without date arithmetic ([BR-014](../../business-rules.md#br-014-association-date-defaults-differ-per-association-family-and-detail-load-failures-are-non-fatal)).
- Carries the employer-liability limits, both individually and as a combined display string.*

## Context

- Namespace: `SAIF.Business.View.Policy`

## Inherited public members

Members in this section are inherited from `clsBusinessBase` in `SAIF.Framework.Core`. They are available on this type through inheritance.

| Member | Signature | Purpose | Origin |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| BrokenRulesCollection | `Public ReadOnly Property BrokenRulesCollection() As clsBrokenRulesCollection` | Carries the messages for the rules currently broken, which is what drives `IsValid` to false.† | `SAIF.Framework.Core` — `clsBusinessBase` |

> **Note:** Statements marked with `†` are derived from dependency library
> documentation via the Legends CLI. Statements marked with `*` were inferred
> from code structure or contextual evidence. Statements marked with `**` could
> not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified.
