Mary -

I never suggest clients front load PTO time per year as a general rule.  When it is accrued per week, the fringe can be allocated per job worked to better reflect actual job cost.  There can also be considerations to take into account such as Carryover or Use it or Lose it policies.  It is possible to Front Load the paycheck stub so the employee sees what they expect, and still let the system accrue it weekly, but that is out of the scope of the knowledgebase article.

I suggest working with a Consultant so you can get the best of both world and show the employee what they want, and still keep the integrity of your Job Costing.

This is how our PTO policy is worded, so we have to do it.  We have some that have gone to accrual based on hours worked due to some law changes.
