The following fields are available on the Benefit Balances screen:

Beginning Balance
The number of units (e.g. hours) the employee started with at the beginning of the pay period.
Ending Balance
The number of units (e.g. hours) the employee has left at the end of the pay period. This value is the Beginning Balance + Accrued units - Taken units.
Eligibility Date
The date the employee became eligible for this benefit plan.
Accrued
The number of units (e.g. hours) the employee has accumulated during the open pay period.
Taken
The number of units (e.g. hours) the employee has used during the open pay period. This includes any approved requests.
Submitted
