Resolution

Determine when your Accrual End of Year date is in correspondence with your Payroll Period.

  • If the End of Accrual Year date is any date within the Payroll Period Start and End dates, define that date in the End of Accrual Year field.
    • Example, the Payroll Period is 12/26 to 1/9.
      • The End of Accrual Year date is 12/31, then 12/31 should be defined in the End of Accrual Year field.
      • If the End of Accrual Year date is 1/9, then 1/9 should be defined in the End of Accrual Year field.
  • The Employee Update will need to be processed prior to the Accrual Year End Processing.
  1. Go to Accrual Year End Processing. (Payroll>Accrual Processing>Accrual Year End Processing)
