Set Up a Payroll Entitlement
Payroll entitlements are set up to track and calculate your employee's entitlements automatically. In your company settings, set up a payroll entitlement (like sick leave) by making the following modifications to the program's default payroll entitlements:
To change the number of hours
in a work day
- In the Home window on the Setup menu, choose Settings.
- On the left side of the window click Payroll, and then Entitlements.

of entitlement hours or days earned in a year
- In the Home window on the Setup menu, choose Settings.
