Resolution
These settings can be used together or by themselves

  • Maximum sick pay/vacation hours = the maximum hours an employee can have for their Balance for Vacation hours or Sick pay hours (Employee balances are in PR, Employees, Maintain Employees, Vacation)
  • Max accrual per year = within the calendar year, what is the maximum number of hours that can be accrued/earned (To find Earned hours for the Employee go to PR, Employees, Maintain Employees, Vacation). Note: PR, Utilities, Maintain PR Parameters must have “Restrict accrual” checked to enter an amount in “Max accrual per year”. Once the employee’s Earned hours for the year are => (equal to or greater than) the Max accrual per year, no accrual will be done.

Print screen examples below are based on these parameters:

The sick and vacation accrual calculates if:

  • If the employee’s Balance (Start hours + Earned hours – Taken hours) < (less than) the Maximum (sick pay/vacation) hours allowed and the employee’s Earned hours are < (less than) the Max accrual hours per year then the accrual will calculate done.

The sick and vacation accrual will not calculate if:

  • If the employee’s Balance (Start hours + Earned hours – Taken hours) are => (equal or greater than) the Maximum (sick pay/vacation) hours allowed, then no accrual will be done.

  • If the employee’s Balance (Start hours + Earned hours – Taken hours) are < (less than) the Maximum (sick pay/vacation) hours but the employee’s Earned hours are => (equal to or greater than) the Max accrual per year allowed, then no accrual will be done.

Once the employee’s Earned hours for the year are => (equal to or greater than) the Max accrual per year, no accrual will be done.
