Accrual Cap Hours

This field indicates the maximum number of accrual hours that a person can earn. It limits the total number of hours a user can accrue in a specified period in the Admin >> Accruals posting process. For example, if the timesheet user has an Accrual Cap Type of Per-Period and Accrual Cap Hours set to 8, then the user can only earn a maximum of 8 hours for that period, even if they have worked enough hours to accrue more than 8 hours. The user can earn another 8 hours in the next period.

This field is required if an Accrual Cap Type other than "None" is selected. Hours entered must be greater than zero. Decimal values are allowed.

For employees covered under the Service Contract Act, this cap is set according to the Service Contract Act wage determination guidelines. See https://sam.gov/content/wage-determinations for more information.
