  1. Select Gross Hours from the Percent Of list if you want this entitlement to be a percentage of all hourly wages you pay an employee.

EQUALS __ HOURS PER __ : Choose this selection if you want this entitlement to be incremented by a specific number of hours. If you choose this selection, enter a number of hours and select a time period -- Pay Period, Month or Year -- from the list to determine the number of hours that will be accrued on each paycheque, regardless of the number of hours the employee worked.
