The Average Rate to Premiums at Week End Rule allows you to reset the rate of specified premiums to an average pay rate at the end of the week or at termination. This is useful in situations where overtime premiums were produced as zero-rated items by other pre-existing rules and administrators want to assign an appropriate rate to these items.
This rule runs at the end of the week or upon employee termination to reset the rates of specified premiums to an average pay rate for the week (modified by a multiplication factor, if required).
