Text Size. One of the many startling results in Friday's unemployment report for June was how few American adults are currently employed. Even though the unemployment rate is technically 9.2%, the employment-population ratio fell to 58.2%, matching its recession low. But it might help to put this number into perspective: just how bad is it?
Calculate the percentage of days worked in the month. For example, if the employee worked 10 days during a month with 22 work days, the percentage of days worked is 10/22 or 45.45%. Multiply the applicable accrual rate by the percentage of days worked. For example, if the employee above accrues 10 hours of vacation per month, then the accrual due is 45.45% * 10 hours or 4.55 hours. If the employee works part-time, multiple the accrual calculated by the percentage FTE for the employee. For example, if the employee above works 75% time, the accrual due is 4.55 hours * 75% or 3.41 hours.
