Set up sick pay accumulator
Tip: This feature is available with Powerpay Plus.
A Sick Pay Accumulator option is available for accumulating hours per pay.
Using this option:
- The sick pay accumulator is updated with an ‘Hours per Pay’ value on all regular runs for active employees, even if the employee is not receiving a payment. If the hours should not apply to an employee, an adjustment must be manually entered.
For example, if the ‘Hours per Pay’ is 2.00 and the accrual should not apply to this regular run, enter -2.00 on the Accumulators page.
.
- The accumulator allotment for Hours per pay is not added to the employee’s accumulator on extra runs or with manual, reversal or 2nd payments for any employees assigned this option.
For accumulator functionality linked to time off requests, contact your Customer Support Team to learn more. Service fees apply.
