When should Job Based Accruals be used

We have employees that may earn differently through the year or if they change positions or Jobs, do we need to use Job based accruals? 

• Enterprise ERP

• Job Class Master

• Employee Accruals 

• Accrual Tables

• Payroll Control Settings

Generally, most sites do not need to implement Job Based Accruals.  Job Based Accruals should only be considered if a site truly has large numbers of employees that work multiple Jobs at the same time, and each of the Jobs earn the same Accrual Type differently. 

Example:

• Employee 1234 has Job Class TECH with base pay 100 and Job Class MECH with base pay 101 in Employee Job/Salary.  

• The employee works both jobs concurrently and needs to be able to earn Vacation (Accrual Type 1-Vacation) differently for each Job.  

• So the employee would have two Employee Accrual records for Accrual Type 1-Vacation. One with Job TECH and one with Job MECH tied to different Earning Tables. 

If employees will earn differently after moving from one Job/Position to another, Job Based Accruals would not be used, the Employee would simply be updated in Employee Accruals to the appropriate Table for the Accrual Type. 

If not currently implemented with Job Based Accruals please reach out to Payroll Support before converting to Job Based Accruals.
