Calculating Accruals Using Days and Weeks
When you set up leave accruals, you create calculation tables that calculate the number of leave hours that an employee accrues each pay period based on the number of months of service the employee has. However, some situations mandate that you calculate the number of leave days that an employee accrues, rather than hours. Other situations require that you base an employee's leave accrual on the number of weeks the employee works. For example, an organization might give employees one day of leave for each eight weeks of service.
When you set up the calculation table that the system uses to calculate leave time, you select one of these two options on the Calculation Table form:
Accrue Days
When you select this option, the system calculates the number of hours that the employee accrues based on the standard hours-per-day that is associated with the employee. For example, if the employee should accrue one day of leave and the employee is set up with a standard-hours per day value of 9 hours, the system calculates the accrual as 9 hours of leave time.
Weeks of Service
When you select this option, the values in the Upper Limit and Lower Limit fields represent weeks of service. If you do not select this option, those values represent months of service.
