Setting up accruals

Accruals define when employee balances are increased and by how much. Accruals also define the criteria that employees must meet to have their balances increased. This criteria can include seniority ranges and the number of "good" time codes (such as WRK or VAC) and "bad" time codes (such as LATE and SICK) an employee can accrue.

Each accrual controls one employee balance. Accruals set the number of units the balance increases, if the conditions of the accrual are met, and the minimum and maximum values the balance can reach.

Setting up accruals involves these tasks:

• Viewing existing accruals. Before you create a new accrual, verify that none of the existing accruals are appropriate.
• Creating new accruals, if necessary.
• Modifying existing accruals, if necessary.
