Documentation Enhancements

ReadyTime Accrual Policy Transfer for Existing Employees
In ReadyTime, the auto-assignment of accrual policies for new hires runs as part of a nightly process. For the nightly process to automatically assign accrual policies, ensure that the following prerequisites are completed: 

1. Set up Employee Groups on the Company Setup | Resources | Employee Grouping page. 
2. Set up the Auto Assignment order on the Company Setup | PTO | Auto Assignment page.

Expected Results 
After completing the accrual policy transfer, the following changes should be visible on the PTO | Accrual History page

• The new VAC-TP policy’s accrued column should have 6 hours because the new policy’s Effective Date is 7/1/2022. 
• The new VAC-TP policy’s granted column should be zero.
• The new VAC-TP policy’s adjustment column should be 23.08 which was transferred over from the VAC-M policy

• On the PTO | Balance page, you can view the accrual summary information for this employee. Note that the new policy does offer a SIC-TP accrual, so this employee now has two accrual types.
