There are 2 main configurations for leave. 1 is for calendar year and the other is for service year.
Service year is simple. It simply adds leave credits every time it reaches the employee’s service date.
Calendar year is more complicated as we recommend it to be configured to pro rate the credits. To better understand its logic, see example below:
- Employee hired March 6, 2019
- Employee leave availability is 6 months from hired date
- Leave credits are 15 every year
The results of this input:
- September 6, 2019 is when they could file the leave. But since no credits are available, it does nothing.
- January 1, 2020 will result in adding 301/365 * 15 = 12.37 credits
- January 1, 2021 will result in adding 15 credits
Now what if employee was hired on the latter part of the year?
- Employee hired September 9, 2019
- Employee leave availability is 6 months from hired date
- Leave credits are 15 every year
The results of this:
- January 1, 2020 will result in adding 114/365 * 15 = 4.68 credits
- March 9, 2020 is when they could file the leave. Max of 4.68 credits
- January 1, 2021 will result in adding 15 credits
