Use Earnings and Vacation Inquiry to inquire into an employee's earnings and vacation history. Information stored and maintained includes quarter-to-date and year-to-date earnings by earnings code, and a record of vacation, sick leave, and benefit hours. When payroll is processed for the employee, this information is updated automatically, based on the earnings codes established in Earnings Code Maintenance and on the benefit schedule assigned to the employee.

To obtain an accurate Benefit Accrual Report, enter any accrued vacation, sick leave, or benefit information for each employee. If history information is not entered, the benefit accrual history for each employee reflects the activity from the time the Payroll module was installed. Earnings information can only be viewed. You can also access the Benefit Accrual window for each benefit type to display information for that particular benefit.

Note If a third benefit type (other than vacation and sick leave) is not defined in Payroll Options, the third benefit line does not display.

Note If a number other than "0" is entered in the Eligibility Wait field in the Benefit Schedule Maintenance window, additional fields are available when you click Vacation, Sick, or the third (user-defined) benefit button.
