Employee Accrual Setup Glossary

To add a new accrual type, press the Add Accrual button. To Edit an existing accrual, press the Gear icon next to the accrual.

Accrual: The accrual type

Adj LOS Date: An override date for the employee's length of service. By default, our system calculates the length of service by subtracting the employee's hire date from the current check date. If you enter a value in this field, it will be used to calculate the employee's length of service for accrual purposes (rather than using their hire date as the reference point).

Start Date: The beginning date on which the accrual became active for the employee.

End Date: The last date the accrual will be active for the employee.

Avail Hrs: The number of hours that have been used for this accrual.

Last Accrue: The date the benefit last accrued any amount.

Override Rate: Works in conjunction with the unmarked rate field to the right of this check box. If you check this box, the value you enter in the associated rate field will be used as the accrual rate, overriding the rate defined at the company level. The rate amount you enter here will be used regardless of the employee's length of service. Note that if you check this box and leave the override rate field set to zero, then the accrual rate will be zero and nothing will accrue.

Override Amount: Works in conjunction with the unmarked amount field to the right of this check box. If you check this box, the value you enter in the associated hours field will be used as the amount of hours the employee accrues each time the accrual is triggered. The number of hours you enter here will be used regardless of the employee's length of service. Note: If you check this box and leave the override amount field set to zero, then the number of hours will be zero and nothing will accrue.

Override Amount: Works in conjunction with the unmarked amount field to the right of this check box. If you check this box, the value you enter in the associated amount field will be used as the flat dollar amount that the employee accrues each time the accrual is triggered. Again, the amount you enter here will be used regardless of the employee's length of service, and if you check this box but leave the amount blank, then the override amount will be zero and nothing will accrue.

Where do these Accruals come from?

The accruals you see are based on your company’s accrual configuration. You can view your company accrual configuration anytime by launching the HRIS Administration module and selecting Payroll and Setup > Accrual Configuration from the side menu.
