Printing Sick Accrual Information Only on the Payroll Check
The recently enacted New York State Sick Leave Law (NYSSL) required that detailed sick accrual information is displayed on the employee payroll check stub. CHARTS allows for the printing of detailed accrual information for all accrual types: Vacation, Sick, Holiday and Personal. Several of our clients have asked for the ability to print detailed accrual information for Sick hours only.
