Payroll Accrual Basics
Posted: January 14th, 2012, 5:15 amThe program maintains 2 values for accrual type pay factors:
Hours Accrued: An accumulated total throughout the calendar year of accrued hours without regard to how many, if any, of these hours have been paid(used).
Hours paid.
The available hours at any point is determined by subtracting hours paid from hours accrued. That is the calculation done to show balances on the paycheck stubs. Currently, there is not another payroll report that directly shows a calculated balance. The Earnings Report shows the year-to-date accrued and paid hours information.
At the first pay period of each calendar year, the program goes through a rollover process where the total paid hours is subtracted from total accrued hours for the previous year. The resulting balance is set as the initial year-to-date hours accrued for the current year.
