DESCRIPTION

This module is basically the Journal Entry program but will post the transactions immediately and the changes will be reflected immediately in the Employee Maintenance Vacation screen and in the YTD Vacation Pay Accrual Report. It's primary purpose is to allow for Vacation Year-To-Date adjustments to be made if they have not been done in the period prior to the vacation run.

After entering the journal entries and saving them the amounts are posted to the employees' YTD totals and the transactions are marked as Posted. If you have more entries to make, you can return to the same sheet date and add further transactions. When you save the entries only the new transactions that are not marked as posted will be posted. You will not be able to change any transactions that are posted so, if you need to adjust an amount that has already been posted, you will need to make another entry.

It should be noted that the transactions will be automatically marked as Manual Adjusting entries and consequently will not be processed in the GL Journal Voucher report.

If you use the Hours Inquiry report it will be necessary to set the Include Manual Adjustments to Yes to see these transactions.

You need to have 'E'arnings type pay codes setup with the related vacation flags set and the 'Adjusting Entry Only' checked on the opening pay code maintenance screen. Use the Pay Codes Maintenance program to setup the pay codes.

The following is a sample of a pay code set up for adjusting Vacation Earnings and/or Vacation Hours:

OPENING SCREEN

EDITING SCREEN

EDIT SCREEN PROCEDURES

The Vacation Journal Adjust screen is exactly like the regular Journal Entry screen that you should be familiar with. For those employees requiring adjustments, follow the same routine as a regular journal.

Employee Number: Enter the employee's number.

Date: Choose any date within the Vacation Pay pay period. You can keep all journals entered on the one date.

Crew Number: Enter regular crew number or timekeeper crew.

Job Code: Regular job code should default.

Account Number: Defaults to the labour account of the job however once the pay code is selected, the account number should change to the Vacation Pay account as previously set up in the Pay Codes Maintenance, in Pay Tables Section.

Pay Code: Enter the appropriate adjusting pay code. ie;

Vacation Adjust $/Hours Pay Code: in the Pay Code Mtnc General Screen must be marked as an 'Adjusting Entry Only'. In the Flags Screen must be flagged as 'Vac Pay Hours' and 'Vac Pay Earnings'.
Vacation Adjust Credit $/Hours Pay Code: in the Pay Code Mtnc General Screen must be marked as an 'Adjusting Entry Only'. In the Flags Screen must be flagged as 'Vac Pay Credit'.

Hours: Enter the amount of hours needed (positive or negative) to adjust the hours.

Amount: Enter the dollar amount needed (positive or negative) to adjust the earnings. Please note all dollar figures are in earnings. If you want to pay an employee an extra $500.00 and his vacation percentage is 10% you would enter $5000.00 in this field (vac pay / rate = earnings).

Press F9 or click Accept to proceed.

Once you have completed all the necessary changes in the Vacation Journal Entry Module you can verify the updated vacation amounts by printing a YTD Vacation Pay Accrual Report.
