Location: /data/<coverage>/processed/employees_processed.parquet
Builder: shared/data/build_processed.py --target employees

Configured fields currently include highest_degree, sex_predicted, ethnicity_predicted, role_k150, and user_location. For each field, the builder keeps the first available value within the worker's ordered source records.

The worker table supplies static employee features to model preparation and worker-level characteristics to descriptive analyses. It does not define model splits; worker splits are assigned later from the model configuration.
