FAQ: How do I pause a rolling accrual for a number of days?

You can use the

Pause Accrual for Related Time Off Events

instance value calculation (IVC) to pause accruals for a number of days when workers are absent for a defined period before or after their defined anniversary occurs, reducing manual effort. The accruals must use an anniversary-based balance period. The IVC determines the accrual date based on a

Days to Include

setting of

All Days

for each time off plan.

Example: You configure an accrual frequency override to pause a sick time off accrual for 5 days. Rachel has a hire date of 18-02-10. She's sick from 21-02-06 to 21-02-12. Her first day back to work is 21-02-13. Her sick time off balance increases on 21-02-17, after she's back at work for 5 days and eligible for the increment, based on her length of service.

If Rachel is sick before her anniversary, to accrue her increment, she needs to have 5 days without sick time off before her anniversary.

Related time off events correspond to the time off plans that use the accrual. Only time off events for time off types that are part of the same time off plan as the accrual trigger the IVC. Example: When John takes time off on his work anniversary, if that time off isn't against a time off type on the same time off plan as the accrual, he accrues on that day.
