Question
Why is my vacation pay balance showing as negative in Jane Payroll?
Answer
A negative vacation pay balance usually means your clinic has provided more paid time off than what the employee's percentage-based vacation pay rate has accrued so far.
Here's how to read the balance:
- A positive balance means vacation pay is still owed to the employee.
- A negative balance means the employee has already been paid more vacation time than what has accrued.
This is common for clinics with generous vacation policies and doesn't indicate an error. Vacation pay will continue to accrue on a negative balance.
