Setting up vacation time on the 5-2-1 Employees Compensation tab

Keep in mind the following:

  • When processing payroll, the system increases accrued vacation time in the employee record based on the rate you have set up.
  • When paying an employee for vacation time, use Pay Type 5 - Vacationfor vacation time on the timecard lines.
  • When processing Payroll, the system decreases the vacation time in the employee record.

  • Vacation Available. If this is a flat amount per year, enter amount available to each employee at beginning of each year and do not use an accrual rate.

  • Rate. Enter the rate at which vacation time accrues according to your company policy, and for the accrual method you select.

  • Method. Enter the method used to accrue vacation time (per hour or per period).

There is no general ledger accrual created by the entry on the 5-2-1 Employees window. You must set up a payroll calculation if you want an accrual for the general ledger and job cost purposes.
