Tracking PTO Accrual and Use

FINSYNC's payroll platform allows profile owners to track PTO accrual and use for their associates.

PTO Accrual

When setting up an Associate profile within FINSYNC, you will find the option to track PTO accrual within the Pay Details section of the profile.


Important Items to Consider: 

  • PTO is accrued on a prorated basis per pay period based on the overall annual allotment.
  • Accrued PTO does not roll over and will automatically reset to a 0 hour balance at the start of each calendar year. 

To begin setting up PTO accrual for associates, follow the steps outlined below: 

1. Mouse over the Payroll tab in the top menu and select Associate Records

2. Locate the associate from the table and click on their row. If you need to add a new associate profile, use the green New Associate button on the right of the screen. 

3. On the Associate tab, the Pay Details is found on the right side of the screen. 

4. To edit the amount of PTO accrued each year, simply click on the green link next to Paid Time Off

5. Enter in the amount (hours) in the PTO Accrual field. Information is calculated and displayed for the Hours Accrued YTD, Hours Used YTD as well as the Current Balance

Note: If changing the number in the PTO Accrual field, you must click Save and click on the Paid Time Off link to see the updated calculations.
