This is an old revision of the document!
The purpose of this document is to calculate and post accrued pay and related benefits for employees that work in one fiscal year but do not get paid until the next fiscal year. For example, any employee who works days in August 2018 for the 2018-2019 school year but does not get paid their first check for these days until September 2018 would need to be included in the End of Year payroll accruals.
Reminder: If you do not accrue during the year, use the Human Resources > Payroll Processing > EOY Payroll Accruals > Reversal for Non-Accrual tab to reverse accruals if you have not previously addressed.
(Discuss District of Innovation (DOI) & accrual calendars.)
IMPORTANT:
Why do we accrue?
TEA Finance Accountability System Resource Guide:
❏ Monthly Accruals: “Expenditures should be recorded and reported in the period in which they are incurred. Therefore, unpaid salaries and related benefits that have been earned, but not yet paid should be recorded as accrued expenditures.”
❏ EOY Accruals: “Effective August 31, 1994, school districts were no longer allowed to defer the recognition of those expenditures incurred during one fiscal year that relates primarily to the next fiscal year.”
• The process of accruing salaries enables an LEA to accurately reflect expenses after each payday.
• This process enables LEAs to maintain earned but unpaid salary amounts for each employee in School YTD.
Non Standard Employee Accruals
If the TRS Year field is selected for an employee on the Payroll > Maintenance > Staff Job/Pay Data > Job Info tab (non-standard employee) and the employee is accrued, a school YTD record is created for the new school year when payroll is calculated for July and August. The program determines whether a new school YTD record should be created if the TRS Year is selected and the contract begin date year is equal to the pay date year.
❏ Review the EOY Flowchart for September Start LEAs.
❏ Review the Accrual Overview.
❏ Use the End-of-Year Payroll Verification document to verify that the necessary steps are addressed prior to performing the August Accruals Process.
