Our Salaried Employees have to log in their time by department and by type of Earnings (Regular, Holiday, Sick, etc). We are on a semi monthly pay period - therefore the number of hours worked each pay period vary - but the amount of pay is exactly the same each pay period.
On each employee's pay record there are 2 fields Pay Per Period and Equivalent Hourly Rate.
When the payroll is calculated the, the payroll application calculates the Amount column based on a prorated hourly rate - so the total amount of payroll is exactly the same each pay period.
The business requirements are such that if an Employee has Vacation on their timecard - the Amount for the Vacation Hours should be calculated based on the "Equivalent Hourly Rate" and the balance on a prorated rate. The total of Vacation and Regular/Sick, etc. should equal the employee's pay for pay period - accounting also for any rounding differences. Below is a sample table - the amount column needs to be recalculated whenever there is VACATION used by Employee. For the Vacation Row the Amount should be the Hours times the Equivalent Hourly Rate and the other earnings items should be based on a prorated rate. I only need to Update the values of the Amount column.
Thanks

Almost clear enough to make a stab at it...could you post the expected result set, or, alternatively, add an extra column say 'NewAmount' to your sample data which contains the values you are expecting to see in the 'Amount' column? Cheers.
