Recruitment & Retention pay
Explanation:
There is a military type use of R & R for rest and relaxation, but I think in your context Recruitment & retention is more likely.

Here is one spell out from a Calif government document:

"Will a SDI deduction be taken from annual Recruitment and Retention (R & R) pay differentials?"

Another one from California:

As done in previous years, the State Controller's Office (SCO) will provide employee listings and employment/payroll history summaries to assist agencies in processing the annual Personnel/Payroll Specialist/Supervisor classifications recruitment and retention (R & R) pay (differential 240).
