I am hoping that someone has some experience with the payroll module. We are trying to implement a non-accrued vacation schedule, and we are not having very much luck. The company that we doing this for have the following vacation requirement: After 1 year the employee gets 1 week on his/her anniversary date After that the 1 week always resets on Jan 1. After 5 years they add a 2nd week, again on the anniversary date with it resetting on Jan 1. E.g. An employee starts work July 1, 2001 on July 1, 2002 that employee would get 1 week vacation to use by the end of the year. On January 1st, the vacation time will be reset to 1 week. If anyone has any suggestions, that would be very appreciated.

What a lousy vacation policy that is! [:0] You probably want to set up a recurring journal— or you could just post the vacation accruals manually every January 1st. (The journal could be posted shortly before or after 01/01.) The standard Navision VACATION control would give the employees 1/52 day of vacation every week, which is not what you have in mind. You might also be able to write a codeunit which checks to see if this year’s week (or 2 weeks, in the unlikely event that an employee sticks around for more than 5 years) of vacation has been posted yet, and posts it if necessary.
I don’t have a copy of Navision handy, but I believe the standard set of payroll controls includes functionality which enables you to have “use it or lose it” vacation days which expire at the end of the year. That part of your client’s vacation policy is pretty standard. The part about not prorating the vacation time for new hires is non-standard, as is the fact that employees accrue exactly 5 vacations days every Jan. 1st (rather than accruing a fractional number of vacation days every pay period.)
