# PTO Accruals

The PTO Accruals page is where the Admin can set the rules for PTO events depending on their company rules or policy.

1. You can import a file from Excel.
2. Filter out the PTO you wish to access.
3. Edit the PTO (To create a PTO, you would go to PTO Names.)
4. Once editing a PTO, there are 4 fields to manage.
   * Frequency: This will display the PTO awarded per unit (day/week/month) based on the total PTO per year. In addition, PTO can be allocated per hour worked.
   * Hours Per Year: This is the display of the award amount (if you change the selection to day/week/month), it will show the annual total in that format. For example, 12 hours per year is awarded at 1 hour per month. (This shows the display)
   * Carryover Date: This is the date at which new time off starts to accrue (start of new work year)
   * Carryover hours: The number of PTO hours that are allowed to carry into the new year/term.
