In MYOB AccountEdge, accruals are hours that accumulate on paychecks that help you pay special wages, such as vacation or sick pay.
When you create an accrual in AccountEdge, you'll link it to an hourly wage. Whenever you pay that particular hourly wage, the accrual hours associated with that wage will be automatically decreased the appropriate amount. For example, if you include a week's worth of vacation pay on an employee's paycheck, that employee's vacation accrual will be decreased by the number of hours in one work week.
