Leave Accruals
You track the amount of leave entitlement that employees are given using accrual DBAs. You can set up separate DBAs for each type of employee leave that you give to employees. When you set up an accrual to track employee leave time, you specify this information for each accrual:
The type of leave the accrual tracks.
The amount of leave time an employee receives.
Whether the leave time prints on the employee's payment advice.
The basis of calculation for the accrual.
To ensure that employees receive leave time when they are entitled to it, you need to define entitlement information for each leave accrual. An employee is entitled to minimum leave amounts after he or she completes service requirements that are defined by the NZHA. For example, after an employee completes 12 months of continuous service, he or she is entitled to receive a minimum of three weeks of annual holiday leave.
The method that the organization uses to calculate, accrue, and roll over leave time is dependent upon the leave policies that the organization uses. For example, the organization might choose to set up an accrual DBA to accrue employee leave time starting on the employee's date of hire. When the employee meets the service requirements for the leave type, you can then roll the accrual amount into an available DBA. Alternatively, the organization might choose to set up one accrual to calculate a flat amount of available leave when the employee meets the service requirements.
