PTO in GnuCash?

[Russell Mercer]

Steve,

Maybe something like this:

Assets:  PTO
This will represent the dollar value of the hours of paid time off

Income:  Gross Income
Income:  PTO

Expense:  PTO Used

In Transaction for paycheck:

7/30/2010  Work Paycheck                  Earned PTO Hours: 10     $/Hr:  20
Regular Hours:  100

Income:Gross Income:                       $2000.00
Income:PTO                                      $  200.00
Expenses:Taxes:               $  200.00
Assets:Bank:Checking:      $1800.00
Assets:PTO                      $  200.00

This will build up your PTO account.  Then, every time you use PTO,
you can represent as the following

8/15/2010  Work Paycheck                  Earned PTO Hours: 10     $/Hr:  20
Regular Hours:  95
PTO Hours:        5

Income:Gross Income:                       $2000.00
Income:PTO                                      $  200.00
Assets:PTO   For Time Used              $  100.00
Expenses:Taxes:               $  200.00
Assets:Bank:Checking:      $1800.00
Assets:PTO                      $  200.00
Expenses:PTO Used         $  100.00

It seems something like this could be kept up pretty easily.  Just
track it with every paycheck.  You can even add the PTO to the
paycheck entry on a scheduled transaction.  I am assuming that you
earn the same amount of PTO every pay period. When you use some, you
simply modify that particular transaction.

Hope this helps.

Russell
