Accrual Policies
An accrual policy is the schedule upon which your employees earn paid
time off hours. There are two types of accrual policies, Calendar Based
and Hours Worked Based.
A Calendar Based accrual policy is set up to specify a set number
of hours that an employee is to receive per year. The employees assigned
to this policy will receive this time regardless of the number of hours
worked.
An Hours Worked Based accrual policy gives employees a number of
accrued hours based on the number of hours worked.
Length of Service Milestones are used to specify the number of hours
that the employees are to receive, as well as the rate at which the hours
will accrue. Multiple milestones can be entered for each accrual policy.
Example: An employee receives 10 hours of Vacation time per year until
they have been with the company for three years, at which point they receive
20 yearly Vacation hours. Two Length of Service Milestones would be entered,
one for each level of vacation received.
