Setup staff

Defining the firm benefit year

Before DT Practice can track benefits for your staff, you must first define the firm’s benefit year.
  1. Choose Setup > Firm to open the Firm setup screen.
  2. Go to the Benefits tab.
  3. In the Benefit year section, specify your firm’s benefit year using the fields provided. For example, if your firm tracks benefits for a regular calendar year, you would enter dates from January 1 to December 31 for the year.
  4. Select
    Enter
     to save your changes, or continue by setting up firm holidays and/or comp time.
note
  • The first time you set up your firm’s benefit year, DT Practice defaults to the current calendar year. If necessary, you can change the end date of the year to reflect your firm’s calendar. When you enter an end date, the year beginning date is updated automatically.
  • When you conclude tracking for a benefit year, select the
    Create New Year
     button to enter dates for the next year. This button is inactive until your firm completes its benefit year.
