Overview

The purpose of Benefit Accrual is to manage time-off benefits that accrue over time based on a pre-determined accrual schedule.  This applet works in conjunction with the Time Sheets applet to keep track of time earned and used in various Benefit Projects. Some examples of Benefit Projects include Vacation, Sick, Paid Time Off (PTO) and Comp/Banked Time. 

 


 

Key Concepts

InFocus can keep track of multiple accruals that work with a single Benefit project as well as handle multiple accruals for multiple Benefit Projects.
Once the initial set-up is completed, the accruals can be run on a regular basis and InFocus will generate a Benefit balance that employees can readily access through the Time Sheets applet.
