Accrual History Report

Description:

This report gives you a history of awarded, used and banked accrual hours for the specified date range.  Dates are based on the system Last Calculated Date.

Report Criteria:

The Report Criteria screen opens when you click on the report name from the main "Reports" section of the software.  This screen is where you tell the system what data you would like it to report on.

  • The Employee Reports field allows you to select a different report from the drop-down menu.

  • Put a check mark in the Launch Report in Separate Window box if you would like the report to open in a new web browser window.  With this option de-selected the report is displayed directly below the Report Criteria section of the screen.

  • Enter a beginning and ending date for the report into the Date Range fields.  Click on the icon at the end of the field to select the dates from a calendar.
    Example:
    If you want to print reports for one pay period only, enter the beginning date for the pay period into the first field, and the pay period ending date into the second field.  Leaving the Date Range fields blank will generate a report on all time card data based on the remaining criteria selections.  For example, you can print a report on all time card data for a specific employee, etc.
