Accrue Absence Hours Based on a Predefined Schedule

If you do not use the Vantagepoint Payroll application, or you want to accrue absence hours on a different schedule from your payroll schedule, you can determine a separate frequency for absence accruals. Initiate the accrual manually on the Absence Hours Accruals Processing form.

Prerequisites: Before you initiate the absence accrual process, your system administrator must establish the frequency of absence accruals by selecting the frequency (Monthly, Semi-monthly, Biweekly, or Weekly) in the Accrual Frequency field on the Absence Accrual form of Settings > Accounting > Absence Accrual.

To accrue absence hours manually:

  1. On the Navigation menu, select Accounting > Absence Accruals > Absence Hours Accruals Processing.
  2. On the Absence Hours Accruals Processing form, change the accrual date, if necessary.
    Vantagepoint calculates the accruals based on the settings on the Absence Accrual form of Settings > Accounting > Absence Accrual.

    For accrual codes based on frequency, the number of hours accrued for an employee is calculated by referring to the Accrual Frequency field. This configuration field indicates how often you plan to accrue absence hours: Monthly, Semi-monthly, Biweekly, Weekly. Vantagepoint divides the annual number of absence hours by the number of times that you plan to accrue absence hours over the course of the year.

    For accrual codes based on hours worked, the number of absence hours accrued for an employee is calculated by multiplying the Hours Earned per Hour Worked times the number of timesheet hours in the selected timesheet postings. If, for example, an employee earns .0333 hours per hour worked and has a total of 40 hours in the selected labor posting, the employee will earn 1.33 hours in the specific accrual process.

  3. If the accruals are also based on hours worked, select the accrual method to include via the Methods to Include option.
