How do you solve for the total employee benefits expense when it comes to accumulating paid absences that are vesting?
Current Employee Benefits Expense + Accrued Employee Benefits = TOTAL EBE
(Current Employee Benefits Expense = Used Entitlements x Current Salary Rates)

How do you solve for the total employee benefits expense when it comes to accumulating paid absences that are non-vesting?
Current Employee Benefits Expense x Accrued Employee Benefits = TOTAL EBE
