Contractor Payments: Presentation Layer Refactor

Overview

Refactored the Contractor Payments component structure to focus on presentation components and clean up the component hierarchy. Container logic has been moved to flow wrappers, enabling stories to showcase pure React views.

Changes

Presentation components now handle all UI rendering and state passed via props
State machine used to manage flow navigation
Updated all stories to use Presentation components directly with mock data props

Components

CreatePaymentPresentation: Contractor hours/earnings editor with edit modal
DetailPresentation: Payment statement breakdown for a specific date
OverviewPresentation: Payment summary review before submission
PaymentHistoryPresentation: Historical payment list view
EditModalPresentation: Individual contractor payment editor

Pull Request Overview

This PR refactors the Contractor Payments feature to separate presentation components from container logic, enabling better testability and cleaner component structure. The state machine now manages flow navigation, with all UI rendering handled by presentation components that receive data via props.

Key changes:

Introduced presentation components for PaymentHistory, CreatePayment, Overview, Detail, and EditModal views
Created a state machine-based flow to manage navigation between contractor payment screens
Added comprehensive Storybook stories for all presentation components with mock data

+    if (contractor.wageType === 'Hourly' && contractor.hourlyRate) {
+      return `Hourly ${formatNumberAsCurrency(contractor.hourlyRate, locale)}/hr`


The hardcoded string 'Hourly' and '/hr' should use the translation keys from the i18n file. Use t('wageTypes.hourly') and t('perHour') instead to maintain consistency with the rest of the component and support internationalization.

Suggested change

return `Hourly ${formatNumberAsCurrency(contractor.hourlyRate, locale)}/hr`

return `${t('wageTypes.hourly')} ${formatNumberAsCurrency(contractor.hourlyRate, locale)}${t('perHour')}`

+                    {isTotalRow ? '' : wageType === 'Hourly' ? (hours as number).toFixed(3) : '0.0'}


The magic number 3 for decimal places and the hardcoded '0.0' string should be extracted as named constants or configuration values to improve maintainability and make it easier to adjust precision requirements across the application.

+                  render: ({ hours }) => <Text>{hours.toFixed(1)}</Text>,


The decimal precision (1) for hours differs from CreatePaymentPresentation which uses toFixed(3). This inconsistency could confuse users. Consider standardizing the hours display format across all components or documenting why different precision is needed in different views.

Suggested change

render: ({ hours }) => <Text>{hours.toFixed(1)}</Text>,

render: ({ hours }) => <Text>{hours.toFixed(3)}</Text>,

I believe this will currently just truncate. We could probably make fomatHoursDisplay a more general shared utility and leverage it here

+                        : '0.000'}


The magic number 3 for decimal places and the hardcoded '0.000' string should be extracted as named constants to maintain consistency with other components and improve maintainability.

+  const handleCancelPayment = (paymentId: string, contractorName: string) => {
+    const confirmed = window.confirm(t('cancelConfirmation'))


Using window.confirm is not ideal for accessibility and user experience. Consider using a proper confirmation dialog component from the component context that provides better styling, keyboard navigation, and screen reader support.

should this be placed under Contractors domain?

serikjensen

Looking good! a few things

Noted that we may need to do a deeper dive on contractor groups, as it seems that was the recommended way of running contractor payments, that may impact the types being used here
My feeling is that we need to do a pass here and remove any of the logic and calculations that AI put in place in favor of hard coded values that are clearly marked as placeholders. My concern here is that it'll be hard for engineers to identify what is hallucinated or not once this has been merged
Overarching concern around if we need to pause on this while we are investigating the infrastructure work currently being discussed as that has the potential to impact the component APIs in here depending on where that lands

+  wageType: 'Fixed' | 'Hourly'
+  paymentMethod: PostV1CompaniesCompanyIdContractorPaymentsRequestBody['paymentMethod']
+  hours: number
+}


Do we know why this strict version is needed?

@@ -0,0 +1,21 @@
+import type { PostV1CompaniesCompanyIdContractorPaymentsRequestBody } from '@gusto/embedded-api/models/operations/postv1companiescompanyidcontractorpayments'


Do we know if this is the correct entity for contractor types? Did we also figure out how contractor groups fit into this? i believe there was some discussion around groups being the more up to date direction? ex. see https://docs.gusto.com/embedded-payroll/reference/post-v1-companies-company_id-contractor_payment_groups

Thinking we should get a solid direction there as these types will broadly impact how all of this is organized

src/components/ContractorPayment/EditModal/EditModalPresentation.tsx

+  onCancel: () => void
+}
+
+export const ContractorPaymentEditModal = ({


Wondering if we update this naming? Seems like this is actually just being used as a screen not a modal? Flows may do some of these as modals but I don't think we need to follow that

+        onSave={onSaveContractor}
+        onCancel={onCancelEdit}
+      />
+    )
+  }


I think we should rename this to just be ContractorPaymentEdit and then include it in the state machine navigation rather than nesting it inside CreatePaymentPresentation. That will allow ContractorPaymentEdit to be used in isolation as a block

This should probably be stubbed out for now and we can ticket separately to add our actual Dialog component

+      [field]: value,
+      total: calculateTotal(),
+    }))
+  }


Thinking this could be omitted as forms can be wired up in a subsequent commit?

Form here will also need to be updated to use Field components and hook form. not sure if that's within scope here, might be preferable to just keep the current form components as placeholders and hook form can be wired up in a follow up?

+    return wageAmount + editedContractor.bonus + editedContractor.reimbursement
+  }


Feeling a little concerned we have logic built up in these components prior to actually connecting this to the API. My thought is that each of these components should likely be much much more simplified and just have hard coded placeholders. Then the actual logic can be wired up by the implementing dev.

It could be really unclear what things are AI generated/hallucinated vs what actually is left to implement for the engineer with the ticket. My feeling is that we should simplify this a lot with placeholder values instead of doing the actual calculations. I feel AI will be better at helping us with this logic once we can cross check it with actual data and we can do it on a more granular level
