Using the Plan tab, you can define the name, begin date and type of accrual plan.  

For all non-carryover types, you can also indicate whether the plan should participate in automated scheduling, and you will need to also populate the values on the Schedule tab in order to complete the definition of a particular accrual plan.

Note: When determining cap enforcement, the balance cap is applied before the accrual cap. If the balance cap is reached, then you cannot continue to accrue hours.

 


Accrual Plan - Location tab

Using the Location tab, you can specify locations to be included for the accrual plan. If no locations are specified, then all locations will be included.  You can access this tab if Rate Method is "Hours Worked".

Note: We recommend NOT adding locations (i.e., not filtering) if you want all locations to be included.
