The predefined hourly rate functions for retroactive pay rules are:

• RHRF_EmployeeMasterRate

  The Employee Master Rate function returns the rate from the Rate-Hourly field in the F060116 table for the employee on the current timecard that the system is processing using the retroactive pay rule. For example, you might want to pay employees retroactive pay based on the master hourly pay rate.

• RHRF_MaxRate

  The Maximum Rate from Timecard vs. Employee Master function returns the greater rate of the timecard hourly rate from the Hourly Rate field or the employee master hourly rate from the Rate-Hourly field. For example, you might want to pay employees retroactive pay based on either the master hourly pay rate or the timecard hourly rate. This function provides the larger of these two hourly rates.

• RHRF_PayRateMultiplier

  The Pay Rate Multiplier function returns the pay rate multiplier from the Multiplier-Pay Type Multiplier field on the current timecard that the system is processing using the retroactive pay rule.

• RHRF_TimecardRate

  The Timecard Rate function returns the hourly rate from the Hourly Rate field on the current timecard that the system is processing using the retroactive pay rule. For example, you might want to pay employees retroactive pay based on the rate on the timecard instead of another rate.

• RHRF_UnionRateX where X is A, B, C, D, or R

  The Union Rate X function returns the rate for a chosen employee from a particular column of the F069126 table. You identify the appropriate column. This function returns the union rate by calling the Retrieve Union Rates function (N0500015) and using fields on the current timecard that the system is processing in the retroactive pay rule. For example, you might want to pay employees retroactive pay based on a particular union rate. This function provides you with the appropriate union rate.

• RHRF_WeightedAverageHourlyRate

  The Weighted Average of Employees' Timecards in Retroactive Pay Period function returns an hourly rate weighted by hours worked. The function uses all timecards in the overtime period for one of the pay types that you identify. For example, you might want to pay employees retroactive pay based on an average of the hourly pay rates received in the past.
