Payroll

To create an accrual

Please note that this task requires single-user access. (Single-user file locking)

The Payroll Category List window should be displayed.

  1. Click the Accruals tab, if it isn't already selected.


  2. Click the New button. The Accrual Information window appears.


  3. Enter a descriptive name for the accrual in the Accrual Name field.


  4. Choose the method by which you want accrual hours to be accumulated for this accrual in the Type of Accrual field.


  5. Choose whether you want accrual hours to be carried over to the next payroll year.


  6. Enter the hourly wage to which you want to link this accrual in the Linked Wages Category field. (When you pay an employee using the wage you enter here, the number of hours you enter for the wage will be subtracted from the number of hours the employee has accrued.)


  7. Click the Employee button to assign this accrual to specific employees. The Linked Employees window for the accrual appears. Mark the Select column next to each employee to whom you want to assign the accrual. Click OK when you're finished.


  8. If you've chosen a percentage of Gross or Federal hours as the basis for calculating the accrual, you can click the Exempt button to display the Accruals Exemptions window. Mark the Exempt column next to each hourly wage category you'd like excluded when this accrual is calculated. Click OK when you're finished.


  9. Click OK to record the new accrual.
