Automatic Accrual

Anonymous
2020-09-17T17:29:17+00:00

I am tracking vacation, leave, sick, etc time for a group of about 30 people.  I need to have Excel automatically add a number of hours at the end of each month to an existing balance while deducting any time used.  There is no probationary period before they begin accruing.  I already have the following on my spreadsheet:

Name          Beginning Vacation Balance            Vacation Used             Vacation Accrued           Vacation Balance

If they earn 13.33 hours per month of vacation, how can I formulate this?  I read about VBA, but that is waaaay over my head.  I would need the worksheet to automatically update to today's balances.

Thank you in advance to whoever is Excel-savvy enough to provide a formula!

    Thank you again,

    PTO- Calculate Paid Vacation for Hourly Employees

    https://buddypunch.com/blog/calculate-vacation-hourly-employees/

    Calculating PTO (Paid Time Off) can be a confusing task for some employers. It all depends on which “accrual rate” you decide to use. The first step to track employee vacation time is to decide how many hours you want to allocate to full-time employees each year. Based on a 40-hour work week, you may want to give 40 hours (1 week of vacation time), 80 hours (2 weeks), or some other number in between. Based on the accrual method you choose, you can calculate how much time employees accrue each pay period.

    Ali,

    Thank you for the feedback.  I have attached a new screenshot with a couple of values for you.  You may notice in line 2 the balance does not include the accrual because the accrual isn't added until the last day of the month.  I would like for the workbook to give real-time values.  Thank you again and please advise if you need add'l info.
