| Employee | Select this option to assign this method directly to an employee | |
| Active | ✅ | if the accrual method is active |
| ⏹️ | If the method is inactive | |
| Name | Enter a name to identify the accrual method. This field is limited to 100 characters. | |
| Time Code Group | Select the time code group where the hours are accrued | |
| Method Start Date | The date the method goes into effect | |
Accrual Based On V8.2 Base Accrual Rate Calculation | Accrual - By Day | If the accrual is calculated based on the number of days specified in the Day of Accrual field times the accrual rate specified in the Base Accrual Rate field |
| Accrual - By Period | If the accrual is calculated based on the reporting period defined in user's employee profile and the accrual rate specified in the Base Accrual Rate field. | |
| By Day Prorated by FTE | If the accrual is calculated based on the number of days specified in the Day of Accrual field times the accrual rate specified in the Base Accrual Rate field times the FTE of an employee type assigned to a user | |
| By Period Prorated by FTE | If the accrual is calculated based on the reporting period defined in user's employee profile and the accrual rate specified in the Base Accrual Rate field multiplied by the standard working hours per day defined in the Location field assigned to the user, divided by the 8 standard hours and multiplied by FTE | |
| By Period Prorated by Standard hours | If the accrual is calculated based on the accrual rate specified in the Base Accrual Rate field, the number of specific type of hours worked specified in the Time Code(s) selected field, prorated by the number of total standard working hours within a reporting period, calculated based on the reporting period of a user and the type of the days selected in the Day of Accrual field. The formula is Accrual Rate * Number of worked hours/total working hours within a period. This field takes into account the daily standard working hours defined in employee's Location field. | |
| Comp Time - Fixed Rate | If the accrual is earned based on each hour worked (charged to a specific time code). The type of worked time that would qualify a user for accrual is defined in the Time Code(s) selected field. The accrual rate for each hour worked is defined in thethe Base Accrual Rate field. As an example each hour charged to ST time code earns a user 0.10 of benefit time. | |
| Comp Time - Prorated Rate | If the accrual is earned based on each hour worked (charged to a specific time code). The type of worked time that would qualify a user for accrual is defined in the Time Code(s) selected field. The accrual rate for each hour worked is defined in the Base Accrual Rate field. As an example each hour charged to ST time code earns a user 0.10 of benefit time. | |
| Fixed Accrual | If the accrual is a fixed amount not dependent on by day, period, or pro-ration. | |
| Fixed Accrual Prorated by FTE | The fixed accrual rate multiplied by the FTE of an employee type assigned to a user | |
Day of Accrual With What Options does it apply? | All days | If all days of the week are to be included in the accrual rate calculation |
| Working Days Only | If holidays and weekends are to be excluded from the accrual rate calculation | |
| Working Days + Holidays | If all days except weekends are to be included in the accrual rate calculation | |
| Time Codes For Paid Days Limit |
| |
| Prorate Net Accrual | 0-if less than limit | |
| Limit earned hours worked | Limit earned hours worked - Used for COMP Time Limit COMP accrual by number of hrs worked by period / multiple periods (e.g. 40 hrs weekly / 80 hrs per biweekly payroll) – COMP time with limit per period So:
| |
| No Proration | No proration applied to the accrued hours in the balance table | |
| Prorate based on standard hours work | This field is one of the elements in calculating accrued hours when calculating overall Ending Balance of a user. The formula for calculating users ending balance is the following: Ending Balance=Start Balance + Accrued Hours + Manually Adjusted Hours (if applicable in the employee profile)+ Bank Hours (if applicable and manually added by admin in employee profile). From the formula above the Prorate Based On Standard Hours Worked is used in the Accrued Hours calculation as follows: Accrued Hours = Base Accrual Rate x Number of hours charged to the time codes selected in Time Code for Prorate Accrual Based on field divided by Standard Working Hours | |
| Prorate based on total hours work | This field is one of the elements in calculating accrued hours when calculating overall Ending Balance of a user. The formula for calculating users ending balance is the following: Ending Balance=Start Balance + Accrued Hours + Manually Adjusted Hours (if applicable in the employee profile)+ Bank Hours (if applicable and manually added by admin in employee profile). From the formula above the Prorate Based On Total Hours Worked is used in the Accrued Hours calculation as follows: Accrued Hours = Base Accrual Rate x Number of hours charged to the time codes selected in Time Code for Prorate Accrual Based on field divided by Total Hours Work | |
Time Code For Prorate Accrual Based On (V8.2 Time codes for Net Accrual Proration) | The time codes selected for Prorate Accrual Based On calculation | |
| Pay Days Limit-Missing or re-labeled? What Version | Enter the number of fully paid days needed to allow accrual. | |
| Enable Cumulative Accrual | Yes | This field is only applicable if the Number of Months Before Accrual Available is more than zero. If enabled then the number of hours a user would have accumulated for the number of months specified in the Number of Months Before Accrual Available field become available after this period |
| No | This field is only applicable if the Number of Months Before Accrual Available is more than zero. If not enabled then the user starts accumulating the hours from zero starting at number of months specified in the Number of Months Before Accrual Available | |
| Base Accrual Rate | Enter the starting accrual rate for users with 0 years of service. Additional rates will be entered in a later step | |
| Daily Base Prorate Hours | This option is used only for rate type By Period Prorated by Standard hours For this rate type prorated rate is computed as base rate*FTE* hours in day per location/Daily Base Prorate Hours | |
| Number of Months Before Accrual Available | Enter number of months after which the leave hours should become available to a new employee. See Enable Cumulative Accrual field for additional options | |
| Initial Balance For New Employees | Starting balance granted to the user at the beginning of the employment | |

| No | This option only applies if Hours Limit options is set. If No is selected, in case a user balances has reached the max Hours Limit, user will continue the accrual at a regular rate after the taken leave has reduced the balance below Hours Limit | |
