If the employee is part of a work force or employed in or by an establishment all of whose workers have a workweek beginning at the same time on the same day, a single notation of the time of the day and beginning day of the workweek for the whole work force or establishment will suffice;

f. Basis of pay by indicating the monetary amount paid on a per hour, per day, per week, per piece, commission on sales, or other basis;

g. Hours worked each workday and total hours worked each workweek (for purposes of this rule, a "workday" is any fixed period of 24 consecutive hours and a "workweek" is any fixed and regularly recurring period of seven consecutive workdays);

h. Total daily or weekly straight-time earnings or wages due for hours worked during the workday or workweek, exclusive of premium overtime compensation;

i. Reserved;

(2) Records of retroactive payment of wages. Every employer who makes retroactive payment of wages or compensation under the supervision of the labor commissioner, the administrator of the U.S. Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division, or court order shall:

a. Record and preserve, as an entry on the pay records, the amount of the payment to each employee, the period covered by such payment, and the date of payment; and

b. Prepare a report of each payment on a receipt form provided by or authorized by the commissioner, and

1. Preserve a copy as part of the records,

2. Deliver a copy to the employee, and

3. File the original, as evidence of payment by the employer and receipt by the employee, with the commissioner within ten days after payment is made.

(3) Employees working on fixed schedules. With respect to employees working on fixed schedules, an employer may maintain records showing instead of the hours worked each day and each workweek as required by 216.2(1)"g," the schedule of daily and weekly hours the employee normally works. Also,

a. In weeks in which an employee adheres to this schedule, indicate by check mark, statement or other method that the hours were actually worked; and
