The way we handle it... is we earn our days per month.  So every month we earn 10 hours.  In Jan. of every year we let the employees know how much they have left.  They can either carry-it over or have it paid out.  My boss also put in a clause that says they can't carry over more than 20 hours.

How we handle new employees... if they start before the 15th of the month, they only get 5 hours for that month and if they start after the 15th they get 10 hours.  

I just keep a running total every year.  No need for keeping track of start dates or seperate calenders for each person.  I just list the months of the year on top and the employees down the left.  I write down each month how many hours they earned (typically 10) and then how much they used... then I have a 'running balance' spot.
