Methods to Include These options display when the Enable accruals based on hours worked check box is selected on the Timesheet tab in Settings > Accounting > Company.

Use these options to calculate and run the accrual process separately for accruals based on either a defined frequency or on hours worked.

For example, if you have a timesheet correction or adjustment that occurred after the accrual process was run for all employees, you may need to run absence accruals for one or more employees with certain accrual settings.

Options include:
  • Include All: All employees.
  • Frequency/Schedule: All employees with accrual methods based on either frequency or a schedule that is not set to calculate based on hours worked
  • Hours Worked/Hours Worked Schedule: All employees with accrual methods based on either hours worked or on a schedule that is set to calculate based on hours worked.
