Function Keywords
This is the Payroll Function Keyword Maintenance function.   Payroll function keywords are used  in user defined formulas.  When you use a payroll function keyword in a formula, the formula associated with this function keyword is inserted into the formula during formula calculation.
The highlighted function will calculate the annual salary as a function of the employees frequency. If the employee is classified as hourly then the annual salary would be the employees rate (eg 10.00) multiplied by the number of hours in a typical work week (eg 40) multiplied by the frequency of pay (eg 52). In our example the annual salary would be 20,800.00.
This formula could be used in a life insurance benefit calculation where the premium might be a function of the annual salary.
