This often occurs because the both systems process data using different logic. Based on how these two integrate, here is a breakdown of why your Time Off Taken report displays different totals than the stub.

 

  • Why do I have two vacation columns?

The system pulls data from two distinct sources. One represents your standard accrued vacation, while the other was keyed in as a specific instance of unpaid leave that was manually labeled as vacation.

  • Where is Holiday Pay?

This is not included here because it is configured as an Additional Pay Type (direct earnings) rather than Time Off Taken. The report is designed specifically to track hours deducted from an accrual balance.

  • Where is Bereavement?

This is a specific categorization of the eight hours of PTO used. The report groups that specific block of time under the Personal header rather than the Vacation header.

  • What is Personal Time comprised of? What are the 26 Paid and 8 Paid Time Off hours?

The 26 represents the total hours for which the employee was compensated within that report section, while the 8 specifically identifies the paid time off hours actually utilized. Personal Time includes hours logged under a Paid Time Off (PTO) or Personal policy, distinct from designated Vacation or Sick time.

 

The reason why the report doesn’t match the employee's stub is typically a result of filtering or mapping configurations. The stub reflects all earnings (including bonuses and holiday pay), whereas the report only pulls codes specifically flagged as Time Off. Additionally, if the date ranges for the pay period and the work period differ, the totals will not align.
