As a practitioner, you can view accrual balances for employees who are assigned to security groups to which you have access. You can also view details about those balances and about individual accrual transactions.

An accrual balance usually consists of hours that an employee has earned toward various types of paid or unpaid time off. Accruals are commonly used to award and track sick time, vacation time, floating holidays, and PTO (personal time off or paid time off). Accruals can also be used to track monetary awards that are earned or awarded incrementally over time.

To view an employee's accrual balance totals and transactions:

  1. From the Time & Attendance menu, select Maintenance.

    Note: If the Maintenance option is not visible, make sure that you have selected Practitioner in the Role Selector.

  2. Under the Employee heading on the Maintenance page, click the Employee Accrual Balances link.

  3. On the Employee Accrual Balances page, click the Select button (next to the Find button). The Employee ID Lookup window opens. Select the employee whose accrual balances you want to view. The Employee Accrual Balances page refreshes and displays the accrual type (hours or monetary) and the balance for each accrual for which the employee has a balance.

  4. If you want to view more detailed information about an accrual balance, click the accrual name on the Employee Accrual Balances page. The Employee Accrual Balance Detail page opens and displays the accrual type (hours or monetary), last award date, purge date, and year-to-date and total historical balances (grouped by transaction type) for the selected accrual. For a full description of the fields on this page, see the Employee Accrual Balance Detail Page.

  5. To view details about the individual transactions that contributed to an accrual balance, click a balance amount. The Employee Accrual Balance Transactions page opens and displays the transaction history related to the balance you clicked. For a description of the information displayed about each transaction, see Employee Accrual Balance Transactions Page.

    Notes:
    When your first open the Employee Accrual Balance Transactions page, it is filtered to display data only for the specific balance you clicked on the Employee Accrual Balance Detail page. For example, if you click an amount in the All column, every historical transactions for the selected transaction type are displayed. Clicking an amount in the Year to Date column displays only the transactions of the selected type that occurred in the current year. Clicking the balance in the All column of the Total Hours Balance (or Total Monetary Balance) row displays all historical transactions, of all transaction types, for the accrual you are viewing.

    Some accrual transactions are associated with timecard and payroll records. For these transactions, you can click the value in the Transaction Type column to open a Payroll Detail pop-up window that lists the Earnings Code and the Payroll Amount for the transaction.

  1. To change which types of transactions are displayed on the Employee Accrual Balance Transactions page, click the drop-down arrow (the Down Arrow) in the Specify Type field, and then select a different transaction type. To see all transactions related to the accrual, select All.

  2. To view transactions for a different range of dates, click the drop-down arrow (the Down Arrow) in the Specify Date Range field and select a predefined date range (for example This Month) or User-Defined Date Range. If you select User-Defined Date Range, use the Select Date buttons to enter a starting and ending date, and then click Find.

Notes:
Accrual awards are generated automatically according to a schedule defined by your ADP Time & Attendance Representative. The Last Award Date field of the Employee Accrual Balances page indicates when the last award was made. Most other accrual transactions, such as adjustments and use of accrual time, are posted immediately.

As a practitioner, you can adjust employees' accrual balances as necessary. You can also record accrual cash out and purchase transactions, if your company allows these types of transactions.
