If you want to use the accrual system for vacation hours, click the "Use Vacation Accruals" checkbox.

 

If you want to use the accrual system for sick hours, click the "Use Sick Accruals" checkbox.

 

In the "All Employees" section, you will enter the number of hours to accrue per year. And example is if you want to allow your employee to earn one week vacation, enter 40, for two weeks enter 80. If you want to give your employee one sick day, enter 8, two sick days, 16 and so on. The accruals are based on an employee working 40 hours a week for fifty two weeks a year.

 

The "Hourly Employees" section is used for hourly employees. Check the appropriate box if you want to include the overtime hours they worked in calculating their accruals. Note: A person will accumulate more hours than if they just worked 40 hours a week using this feature.

 

In the "Salaried and Commissioned Employee" area you will enter the number of hours to use when calculating their accruals. An example is a Salaried or Commissioned person who is paid each week should have 40 hours entered. If they are paid every two weeks, enter 80 and so on.

The data enter field where is says "Base the normal hours an employee can work in a year on this number:" defaults to a normal 52 weeks at 40 hours a week. 52 X 40 = 2080. If your employees normal work year is different, edit this number.
