Setting Up Service Accrual Rules

To set up service accrual rules, use the Calendar (EG_DB_ALIAS), HR Action/Category (EG_ACTION_CATEGORY), Service Rules (EG_SERVICE_ELAPSED), and Faculty Calculation Group (EG_CALC_GROUPS) components.

Methods of calculating and tracking worker service vary among different groups at the same organization and from one organization to the next. Using the Service Accrual Control tables, you can establish the service accrual rules that best fit your organization.

You can:

• Define service calendars.

• Establish HR action/categories to categorize the job action and job reason codes that count toward service accrual.

• Define date-rounding options.

Service rules are grouped together under a definition name (to provide flexibility when you are determining calculation rules for different types of service accrual processing) and then assigned to a service type. The system processes service types based on the service rules that are defined within the definition name.

Service types belong to a calculation group. One or more service types can belong to a calculation group. Calculation groups enable you to group workers who have the same calculation rules applied to their service accrual process.
