How to add new Employee Accumulators



Description of Issue

How can I add a monthly accumulator and have it update the quarterly and yearly?

Context
  • Munis
  • Employee Accumulators
Cause

State is paying for an employee's military leave but the pays/deductions need to be recorded for W-2 and Quarterly Reports.

Resolution
  1. Go to Employee Accumulators. (Payroll>Payroll Administration>Employee Accumulators)
  2. Click Add. Define Employee, Year, Accumulator Type, Pay/Deduction, Frequency (M for Monthly) and applicable Cycle. Click Accept. (00. amounts will populate)
    1. Do this for each Frequency and Cycle. For example, the Accumulator for M-Monthly, Cycle 1 (January) will need to be added with 0.00, then Q-Quarterly cycle 1 with 0.00, then Y-Yearly with 0.00, etc. 
  3. Click Update on the Monthly record. Define applicable amounts. Click Accept.
  4. Automatic Update prompt will display asking, Do you want to update affected accumulators (Quarterly, Yearly, Fiscal) for this pay/Deduction? Click Yes.
