iPayee

iPayee is a public interface in SAIF.Business that defines the identity, classification, tax ID, and contact information exposed by a payee object.

Purpose

• Standardizes the identifying fields returned by payee objects through PayeeID, Name, and SSNTaxID.
• Exposes both enumerated and code-based payee classification through PayeeType and PayeeTypeCode.
• Requires implementers to supply address, phone, and email contact information for the payee.

Context

• Namespace: SAIF.Business
• Assembly/package: SAIF.Business

Behavioral notes

• The interface defines data members only; it does not provide validation or formatting logic.
• PayeeType and PayeeTypeCode expose the same classification in enum and string-code forms.
• EmailAddress is the only writable member on the contract.

Constraints and usage notes

• Implementing types must provide all properties declared by the interface.
• The nested PayeeTypes enum is limited to Worker, Provider, and Policyholder.
• The contract does not define methods for loading, saving, or validating payee data.
