Accounting Dictionary

Compensated Absences

Compensated absences are accrued if all of the criteria for accrual are satisfied. The criteria include (1) the employee has performed the services to which the vacation or sick pay is attributable; (2) the liability is vested or accumulated; (3) payment is probable; and (4) the amount can be reasonably estimated. The accrual of nonvesting but accumulating sick pay is not required.
