About the Earning/Deduction Codes Employee Tab for Accruals

Accruals are setup in Setup > Payroll > Earnings/Deductions/Taxes > Earnings/Deductions Codes Setup. The Employee tab for accruals, which differs from the Employee tab for other earnings/deductions, lets you enter information about employee vacation, sick, and compensatory/banked time accruals. The payroll program uses the information when calculating these accruals.

On this tab, you can:

  • Specify carry-over dates for vacation, sick, and compensatory/banked time accruals.
  • Indicate whether to post the liability for vacation and sick-time accruals.
  • Indicate how to determine the maximum carry-over (based on the remaining balance or not).
  • Indicate whether to cap accrual based on the remaining balance or the Max. Accrual.
  • Enter rates or amounts of increases in accruals over years of service.
  • Select the taxes to which the earning/deduction is subject.
  • Select the taxes to which the earning/deduction is subject and the withholding type for each tax.
