New ability to assign two extra accrual values in the wage function settings – “Factor Y” and “Factor Z” - alongside the existing Factor X functionality.
Release Date: 26th September 2019.
Reason for the Change
Having one accrual factor isn’t always enough for accounting purposes to cover all the costs to a business. The introduction of two further accrual factors will allow for more accurate cost reporting.
Customers Affected
All HR & Payroll customers using wage function version 5.
