Manage Time-Off Accruals

If you're using multiple spreadsheets or paper forms to keep track of employees' time-off, you'll love Staff Files! The Accruals tab is easy-to-use and will save you lots of time.

It allows you to track accrued time off, such as vacation time, sick leave, and PTO. You can set it up to calculate time-off based on your company policy. Then you only have to enter manual transactions when employees take time off from work. Staff Files calculates the total number of hours or days that are left in each employees accrual account. There are also five reports that pull information directly from the Accruals tab:

Employee Accruals report
Employee Absences report
Staff Accruals Activity report
Staff Accruals Balance report
