Set up an additional accumulator

In addition to a vacation accumulator, you can also set up an additional accumulator and a sick accumulator for your payroll. An additional accumulator is commonly used to report a previous year’s outstanding vacation pay, separate from the current year’s accrual. It can also be used for other purposes.

For sick pay tracking, see Set up sick pay accumulator.

Tasks

Assign an accumulator plan and rate to an employee

1. Navigate to the Compensation tab. From the People menu, select People List > Compensation.
2. Select the employee from the Employee List.
3. Go to the Entitlements section.

4. Select the plan type from the Plan list.
