Canada Vacation Rollover (TA148)

Run Canada Vacation Rollover (TA148) to take vacation balances from one year and apply them to the following year's beginning balance.

Note:  Run this program after the last payroll of one year and before the first payroll for the following year.

Processing effect

TA148 uses the Rollover OptionType and Rollover Limit fields to determine whether limits are applied, and if so, how to calculate the number of hours to apply to the following year.

Accrual dollars are prorated based on the hours to roll over. It may not be possible to get a completely accurate prorated dollar value due to employee wage fluctuations that have occurred during the From Year. In these cases, you can use Canada Vacation Adjustments (TA42.1) to adjust the new dollar balance.

Note: If you are consistently applying limits to the number of vacation accrual hours that an employee can hold, then you may want to apply those limits on a pay period basis by using the maximum limits fields on Canada Vacation Plan Master (TA40.1). If you use TA40.1 limits, then the plan stops accruing as soon as the limits are reached. That way, you can run TA148 at the end of the year without applying limits to the following year. Because TA40.1 is applying the limits every pay period, all employees will be within those limits at the time of the rollover. These are the different rollover types that you can select in the Rollover Option field. The amount entered in the Hours or Percent Limit field are treated as an hours limit or a percentage limit.
  • Rollover no limit: This option transfers the entire balance from the from year to the following year.
  • Rollover apply hours limits: This option uses the amount in the Hours or Percent Limit field as the hours limit amount. Only the accrual hours up to that limit are applied to the following year. The balance of hours are lost. The accrual dollars to rollover are prorated.
  • Rollover apply percent limit: This option applies the employee's level of entitlement from Canada Vacation Hours Schedule (TA40.2) or Canada Vacation Date Schedule (TA40.3) as a limit. For example, if 100 is specified in Annual Hours Entitlement field of TA40.3 and 150 (percent) is specified on the Hours or Percent Limit field of TA148, then a maximum of 150 hours is applied to the following year. Any hours above 150 are lost. Again, accrual dollars to rollover are prorated.
