I am working with a new client to help set up their vacation, personal and sick day accruals.  In the past, this client had no record keeping process in place to track usage.  As a result, we have found that one person has already used 16 hours more than they are entitled to this year and we're not even half way through the year. This can be very costly to employers.  First thing we are doing is establishing clear Human Resource policies so that employees know what the limits are for each of these plans.  Second we will use our Human Resources Information System to set up the eligibility and track usage and show that information on the employees check.  That way employees will always know what they have used and what they have available.  This will be an improvement that will benefit both the employer and the employees.
