Step 2: Configure

There are three levels to configure the accruals:
– Company (with the option for tiered/tenured based accrual)
– Contract
– User

When the accrual schedule is entered to the user profile, the system  takes it into account. If not, it’ll take the users’ contract and if nothing is entered there it’ll take the company settings.

2.1 Configure a tiered accrual schedule for the entire company: This is the recommended settings as it best represents the company policy for tenured employees’ accrual.   First, go to “Users” -> Choose a user -> Scroll down to “Salary info” -> FIll in the initial work date. Do this for all users.

Go to “Company profile” -> “Absence types” tab,  set the period in the field “Accrual mode” and in “Accrual schedule” enter the number of days that will be added at the end of that period. Then, click “+Add new tenure bonus” to set the addition of accrued days for each tenured year. For example: On the first year employees accrue 1 day/mo On the second year they accrue 1.2 days/mo On the third year they accrue 1.4 days/mo On the forth year onwards they accrue 1.6 days/mo
