Using the Accruals Report
For posted paychecks and entries made in transaction history, you can choose to produce:
- An accrual report that shows the hours and amounts that have been accrued and paid. Choose to report in detail, in summary, or the current balances.
- An accrual carry-over log that shows the accrual amounts or hours that were carried over to the start of a new accrual period.
Information on the report
The information on the accrual report and carry-over log includes:
- Employee number and full name.
- The check date and check number.
- The accrual and its description.
The accrual report includes:
- The date that was entered for the accrual on the timecard or transaction history.
- The start and stop times that were entered for the accrual on the timecard.
- The hours and amounts accrued and paid for the accrual.
- Totals for all employees included on the report.
The accrual carry-over log includes:
- The Carried-over Amt/Hrs. field, which displays the amount or hours carried over, after the specified maximum carry-over and maximum accrual have been considered.
- The Actual Beg. Increment field, which displays any flat “beginning” amount that is added to the carry-over amount or hours, subject to the maximum accrual. (You specify the flat amount in the Beginning field of the Employee tab of the Earning/Deduction Codes setup window for an accrual.)
For example, suppose the maximum accrual was 10 hours. Suppose the carry-over was calculated to be 8 hours, and the Beginning field contained 5. Only 2 (of the 5 hours) can be added to 8, since the maximum accrual is 10. The Actual Beg. Increment field on the Accruals Carry-over log would show 2.
- The New Beg. Balance field, which is the sum of the two fields mentioned previously, up to the maximum accrual. It is the starting balance for the new period.
Note: Information on the log is cleared when you use the Delete Inactive Records function to delete employee history.
