Actual Rate vs Default Rate in Employee Accruals

Description of Issue

What do the actual rates and default rates represent on an Employee Accrual Header record? Where do they come from, and can they be updated?

Context
  • Payroll

  • Employee Accruals

  • Accrual History

  • Accrual Tables

Cause

Resolution

The Default Rate comes from the Accrual Table Setup in the Amount column on the Service Levels tab based on the employee's Accrual Date. This is the rate granted to employees upon adding or changing accrual date based on their position on the service levels. 

The Actual rate is populated manually and will override the Default Rate when the employee earns time. This is done by the site's discretion.

To update the Actual Rate:

  1. Navigate to Payroll>Employee Maintenance>Employee Accruals

  2. Search for Employee, Type and Table. Click Accept.

  3. Click Update

  4. Change Actual Date field

  5. Click Accept.
