Concept: Accrue-As-You-Go Plans

In an accrue-as-you-go plan, accruals are in response to a time off request rather than accumulating at a constant rate per period. Example: Workers generally accrue bereavement leave in an amount that matches their leave request rather than in weekly or monthly increments.

To create an accrue-as-you-go plan, use the

xxx - Time Off Total

calculation to define the accrual amount (where xxx = the name of the time off). This calculation returns the sum of a worker's time off hours or days in the current period. It can generate accruals that match the number of approved hours or days in the worker's time off request (subject to time off limits).

You can configure an unlimited accrue-as-you-go plan by leaving the limits blank on the accrual and the time off plan to which it contributes. If you want to limit your plan, set the limit on the accrual itself rather than the time off plan. Select

Start of Period

as the

Accrual Frequency Method

to process accruals before time off.
