About Benefit Details
The Benefit Details screen allows you to manually enter benefit accruals/debits (depending on the Earning Types you created), as well as display a running total of those manual entries for the pay period. For example, in the screen shot below, you will see that a manual entry has been made for 8 hours on 9/24 with an Earning Type called Used - Vacation (H). In the upper table, the manual entry has been entered into the Used column and has been subtracted from the accrual balance and reflected in the Ending Balance.
Important Note
Manual entries should only be made for those benefit accruals that will not be generated once the Work Rules are run.
