Default Multi-month data strategy

I'm trying to figure out the best way to approach a report that shows
multiple months of data for each employee (20). I'm pulling different types
counts per month from one table which need to be displayed for each month.
The data is at the date level, not month.

Report example (only prettier):

Name: John Doe
Months: Jan/Feb/Mar
Grievances: 10/15/12
Errors: 2/4/1
Correct type: 0/1/1
Correct categ: 0/1/0
Doc source: 2/2/0

Should a query be built for each month? With a prompt for employee?

We don't have a clue how your data is stored. How about providing some table
and field names and sample records?

I would think you could use totals queries, crosstabs, subreports, etc

Have you looked into "crosstab queries"?
