    canadian payroll vacation pay accrual

     I have a couple of issues.  Our employees go from 4% of gross wages for vacation pay to 6% after 6 complete  years of employment.  I believe that Sage Accpac begins calculating 6 % after the 6th year anniversary isattained however I haven't been able to set this up.  I believe it has something to do with the carry over function.  Also, at our year end I have difficulty putting out a report determining my current balances for vacation pay owing.  How can I improve on this.  If I use our fiscal year end date as a carry over date will that mean  that the totals on our check advice will be reset at fiscal year end (August) and not at calender year end?   Finally, my last issue with vacation pay is how to go about paying out one accrual rate and beginning another.  For example, an employee has $200 built up at the 4% rate and now has begun the 6% rate.  I know I can turn off the 4% by 'do not calculate" but is there a way to coombine it under the new rate or do I have to pay out both when our employee chooses to receive his accrual.  I am also worried about the accrual accruing when it iss paid out so that it never really reaches zero.  Any advise on these matters would be greatly appreciated.
