Sick Days Tab on Set Leave Specifications

Under the Set Leave Specifications (Sick, Vacation, Holiday, Other) system option, there is a Sick Days Tabs. 

This is the tab that will be used when Accrual is marked on Sick Days.

Sick Days Tab (When Accrual is selected)

Accrual:

• Sick Days per Year – This specifies the number of sick days allowed to be accrued per year. Only whole days can be entered. (3 days x 8 hours = 24 hours)
• Maximum Rollover Sick Days – If the employee has any sick days left over at the beginning of the specified Yearly Period, those remaining days may be rolled over into the next year’s sick day amount. However, as the example shows, a maximum of 6 sick days may be accumulated.
• Yearly Accrual Months – For example A new employee does not begin to accumulate sick days until they have worked for the company for 90 days. Enter 3 months Once that threshold is reached, Sick days will be accrued on every subsequent pay day.
• Earn Rate: 1 Hour for every 30 Hours of work – If an employee works and is paid for a 40 hour week, they will have earned one hour of sick time. 10 hours of time will be retained. On the next pay period, if the employee again works 40 hours, they will earn another hour of sick time with 20 hours of time retained. After two more 40 hour pay periods, the employee will have earned an extra hour.

For first time set up if using Hire Date as the starting point, hours/days earned will need to be entered manually on the Worker Information screen.  From this point on, when the hire date rolls around the correct numbers will be added.

 How are hours counted?

• Hourly employees – Hours worked is simply counting the hours worked in the Earnings section of the payroll process.
• Salaried employees - Hours are calculated by 8 Hours Worked x 5 days = 40 hour week. This will change based on how “Hours Comprising a Work Day” is set.
