Overview
Accrual Schedules allow you to create more detailed accrual schedules than the standard setup. It also can account for multiple tiers of accruals based on length of time of employment. Accrual schedules can also be used for overrides for those employees who are granted higher accruals than the standard accrual for the company.
Key Concepts
• | The Accrual Schedule allows a user to create a schedule and use it on multiple projects without having to enter the same information multiple times. |
• | Also, this allows for a user to establish "tiers". Tiers allow for setting a time frame that includes a certain number of Accrual Hours based on length of employment. Once an employee reaches the next tier, they begin to accrue that level of Accruable time. |
• | Accrual Schedule Max Hours and Max Carryover take priority over those set in Benefit Accrual Setup |
• | You can also apply a schedule for individual employees. When on the main screen, pull up the indirect projects (If you have imported the employees affected by this accrual, you will see a list of employees). Double-click on the Employee name and you will get the Employee Benefit Override pop-up. More on Benefit Accrual Employee Benefit Override |
