Description: In this topic, the user will learn how to manage accrued time entries. The accrued time entry feature allows employees to claim paid time off against an hourly authorization. DCI does not manage the accrual of paid time off; however, an accrued time off balance can be deposited into an hourly authorization and employees can deduct from this balance. Accrued time entries allows the client if authorized to pay their employee (s) for time off. This feature is only for unit-based authorizations.

Role Required: Super User, Supervisor, Employer

...

  1. Submit a DCI support ticket to enable the instance-level setting called Features_FIModeAccruedTime_IsEnabled

  2. Create a service code

    1. Account Type = Hourly

    2. Funding Type = Units

    3. Allow Accrued Time Entries = Yes

      1. Select an Accrued Time Pay Code (pay code that will appear on the payroll for accrued time entries associated with this service code)

      2. Recommendation: Create dedicated authorizations, service codes, and service accounts for accrued time entries

  3. Create client profile if not already created

  4. Create employee profile if not already created

  5. Create a client funding account for the service code

  6. Create and approve an authorization for the funding account

  7. Create an employee service account for the employee and funding account

  8. Use the Accrued Time Adjustment Entries import to add a balance to the employee service account created above

    1. Import > Entries > Accrued Time Adjustment Entries

    2. Please Note: Unlike authorizations, accrued time balances are always hours as a decimal, regardless of the service code settings for units/rounding.

Accrued Time Entry Business Rule

...

  • This business rule operates just like the Authorization Remaining Balance business rule except that it validates against the balance on the employee service account rather than the authorization

  • Its purpose is to provide the ability to confirm if the employee submitting an accrued time entry has enough balance to cover their request

  • This is a phase 1 business rule, meaning it occurs when the employee saves the entry.

  • If the entry fails the business rule, the employee will see an alert when saving.
