What setting a cap on Holiday Accruals means

The cap is applied on the accruals and not on the holiday balance. Hourly paid employees accrue time off based on a percentage of their hours worked which is added to their holiday balance once their timecard(s) is approved. Account Admins can use this holiday accruals capping feature to set a cap on the amount of time off their employees can accrue to ensure correct holiday balances.

Important: The user is responsible for compliance with with Local/Union Law when capping holiday accruals.
