Tasks

Assign an accumulator plan and rate to an employee

  1. Click the Pay Period menu and click the Enter button for the pay period you want to work with.

  2. Navigate to the Employee Profile page.Closed From the Payroll menu, select Hire/Profile > Employee Profile.Compensation tab.Closed From the People menu, select People List > Compensation.

  4. In the Vacation Pay Accumulator section, select the vacation plan for this employee.

    You can have up to eighteen different vacation plans with different calculations for hours and earnings. For example, some provinces indicate that vacation pay is calculated on vacation pay, while others do not. To create new plans, contact your Customer Support Team.

    Note: The plan defaults to 'Not Applicable' for all existing employees.

  5. Enter the rate of vacation accrual for this employee in the Rate field. Rates are based on legislative requirements and the employee's entitlement.

    For plans that accrue in percentage, enter the percentage as a whole number along with two decimal places (for example, 4 percent would be entered as 4.00 in this field.) Do not enter the percent sign (%).

    For plans accrue in hours per pay, enter the number of hours the employee should accrue per pay. Enter the hours as a whole number along with two decimal places (for example, 7.5 hours would be entered as 7.50 in this field.)

    For legislative requirements, visit the Dayforce Compliance Centre for a link to provincial Employment/Labour Standards sites.
