| Rate Card | A Rate Card is a component of Beeline Enterprise that stores the rates related to a job title request, candidate submission, candidate offer, or assignment. A default rate card includes rates that apply across multiple suppliers while a supplier-specific rate card reflects rates that have been negotiated between the client and a single supplier. The initial Request typically uses a default rate card but if the Request is released to a single supplier, it may use a supplier-specific rate card. Candidate submissions would link to a supplier-specific rate card if a valid once exists, if not, it would retain the default rate card. Rate cards are typically managed by the program office to provide a baseline of industry rates for the job titles and skills required. Each rate card incorporates the full range of valid Earning Codes to ensure that all applicable rates (for example, Regular Time, Overtime, Holiday Time) are identified throughout the procurement process. | Contingent Staffing |
| Rate Card Class | RC Class Groups multiple different rate cards and job titles. Similar job titles are generally tied to one rate card class. An RC Class acts as the bridge between the Job Title and the Rate Card. For simple Beeline Enterprise configurations, Beeline set ups a 1:1:1 relationship between Job Title, the Rate Card and the Rate Card Class. | Contingent Staffing |
| Rate Card Direction | A Beeline Enterprise specific feature that represents whether a procurement process is based on a bill rate or a pay rate, which affects a variety of actions during sourcing. | Client Onboarding |

| Rate, Time, Expense | RTE (initialism) RTE Engine is a rules-based engine that enables customers across different industries to set up and manage worker’s compensation based on work type, worker type, worker timeframes, risk mitigation and compliance. The product improves the buyer, supplier and worker experience by making it easier for them to apply rates, reduce manual effort and errors, and get the most accurate cost for the services performed. | Services Procurement |

| Reclassification | Beeline defines Reclassification as the action used to modify one job title to another within the same job class. Typically, this reflects a worker who is promoted to a more skilled level of their job position, for example an entry level to an intermediate or an intermediate to a senior level. Reclassification simplifies both resource management and program reporting because the work history can be tracked under a single assignment number and tenure can be tracked under a single timeline. | Contingent Staffing |
| Recruitment Lifecycle | This process includes requisition management, sourcing, screening, interviewing, testing, onboarding, extensions, offboarding, performance metrics, and process improvement. |
|
| Recruitment Process Outsourcing | RPO (initialism) RPOs provide on-demand recruiting solutions and full outsourcing for the hiring of direct employees. Organizations use RPO services when they are outsourcing their recruitment function. RPOs streamline recruiting activities and reduce expenses, allowing organizations to focus on other business matters. An RPO provider should be sophisticated enough to offer services across the recruitment lifecycle, but agile enough to fulfill all or part of these services on an as-needed basis. An example might be to fulfill just the sourcing function to alleviate internal workload or to fulfill short-term initiatives, such as ramping up a sales team. |
