Use formulas when needed

Vacation formulas

  • PR_31VacationAccrued = VacationAccruedThisCheck + PR1_VacationAccrued + PR1_VacationCarryover
  • PR_31VacationUsed = PR1_VacationUsed + vacation earnings used on the current check
  • PR_31VacationAvailable = PR_31VacationAccrued - PR_31VacationUsed

Sick formulas

  • PR_31SickAccrued = SickAccruedThisCheck + PR1_SickAccrued + PR1_SickCarryover
  • PR_31SickUsed = PR1_SickUsed + sick earnings used on the current check
  • PR_31SickAvailable = PR_31SickAccrued - PR_31SickUsed

PTO or third benefit formulas

  • PR_31ThirdBenefitAccrued = ThirdBenefitAccruedThisCheck + PR1_ThirdBenefitAccrued + PR1_ThirdBenefitCarryover
  • PR_31ThirdBenefitUsed = PR1_ThirdBenefitUsed + benefit earnings used on the current check
  • PR_31ThirdBenefitAvailable = PR_31ThirdBenefitAccrued - PR_31ThirdBenefitUsed

Add the fields to other stub sections

  1. Right-click the text object created earlier.
  2. Select Copy.
  3. Paste the object into each section where it must print.
  4. Copy and paste the corresponding PR_31 data fields into the same sections.

  2. Print a test check or stub.
  3. Verify that the accrual information prints correctly.

TIP:

If alignment is incorrect, select the field and move it with the keyboard arrow keys. You can also drag the field with your mouse.

These steps also work for payroll and direct deposit forms.
