Options to Define Frequency of Accrual Periods
Configure accrual periods to award leave time to workers throughout an accrual term in equal installments.
Determine the frequency of accrual periods by selecting one of the following Balance Frequency Source values on the Accruals tab in the Create Absence Plan page:
-
Person primary frequency
-
Repeating time period
It there is a change in payroll relationship, the repeating period is automatically updated when running accruals. For example, when employee payroll changes from weekly to monthly.
Person Primary Frequency
Select Person Primary Frequency to award time at the start of each payroll period. For example, if the worker enrolled in the plan receives weekly payroll, the leave time accrues once a week.
Repeating Time Periods
The worker accrues time at the start of each instance in a repeating time period. For example, you created a biweekly repeating period for an annual accrual term. The worker accrues time every two weeks during the term.
You create the repeating time period using the Manage Repeating Time Periods task in the Absences work area. Then, associate the repeating time period with the accrual absence plan on the Create Absence Plan page.
