Managing Leave Accrual

Payroll for North Americaprovides streamlined processing and reporting of all U.S. federalgovernment leave accrual, usage, transfer, and adjustment activitythat affects an employee's leave balances. The system uses accrualclasses to track the expiration dates of accrued leave line items,applying leave usage to the oldest line items first and disposingof expired leave balances by the method that you specify for the class.The system supports all leave plans and transfer programs that arecurrently authorized for federal agencies.

Before you begin definingaccrual classes:

  • Decide how to convert theprocessing rules, earnings limits, and other criteria governing leaveat your agency into earnings accrual classes.

    You might want many accrualclasses or just a few, depending on how you define the parametersfor different leave types, such as annual leave, sick leave, and compensatorytime.

    For example, you cancreate a rule limiting certain employees to no more than 240 hoursof annual leave, and a rule that allows another group of employeesto earn up to 360 hours of leave. Each of these rules requires a differentaccrual class.

  • Establish a naming conventionfor accrual classes so that you can designate and quickly identifydifferent classes for sick leave, compensatory time, military leave,and so on.

  • Become familiar with therelationship between earnings codes and accrual classes.

To define accrual classes:

  1. Set up and define the earningscodes to associate with each earnings accrual class.

  2. Define the parameters ofeach earnings accrual class in one of the following ways:

    • A set of rules determiningthe rate at which employees accrue leave based on years of service.

    • A set of rules for applyingceilings, carryover limits, and expiration dates to accrued leave,and for disposing of excess leave when one exceeds these limits.

    • A set of rules to determinehow to process, track, and accumulate leave balances.

Relationship BetweenEarnings Codes and Accrual Classes

Every type of leave(such as annual leave or shore leave), is represented in the systemby one or more earnings codes, as used on paysheets at the employeelevel. An accrual class enables you to set limits and parameters forleave earnings represented by an earnings code. This includes expirationperiods for leave, leave ceilings, and carryover limits.

Earnings codes are centralto their associated earnings classes. By themselves, however, earningscodes don't indicate how to handle leave when one reaches a ceilingor expiration, the order in which the system uses leave earnings,and so on. You can link this kind of information to an earnings codeonly by associating it with an accrual class.

Earnings codes tellthe system what to pay employees if you decide to convert leave topay upon expiration or termination, or when one exceeds ceiling andcarryover limits.

Accrual classes indicatehow to process and accumulate leave earnings represented by differentearnings codes for individual employees in that class. For example,if you define an accrual class for annual leave, you might:

When you define an accrualclass for one type of leave, you must specify how earnings codes forother types of leave or work time affect accrual balances for employeesin the class. For example, if you define an accrual class for annualleave, you might specify another type of leave taken by your employees(such as sick leave or compensatory time) to add to the accumulationof service hours on which annual leave is based.

Defining Earnings Accrual Classes (1)

Accrual Calculation

This information enablesthe system to record the frequency of accrual and the units of leavetime earned by members of the accrual class.

Field or Control

Description

Leave Type

Note: Although you can definemany different types of leave in the Earnings Accrual Class component,different accrual types require different rules. For example, becausecompensatory time does not accrue at regular rates based on yearsof service, you do not use the Earnings Accruals USF - Rates/Bonuspage to link compensatory time earnings to service time. However,you do use this page for annual leave, which does vary according toyears of service.

Accrual Units

Select the unit of timethat the system uses to track, store, and quote the service intervalson which it bases accruals: Hours, Months, or Years.

Note: This value becomes thedefault on the Rates/Bonus page, where you associate accrual ratesto time in service.

Accrual Frequency

Select the rate at whichleave is earned and tabulated:

Hrs/Year (hours/year):When you select this value, the Accrual Year Type field becomes available for entry.

Hrs/Hour (hours/hours):Select this value to have employees earn leave at a rate of hourseach hour.

Hrs/Month (hours/month):When you select this value, the Accrual Pay Period field becomes available for entry.

Hours/Pay Pd (hours/pay period): Select this value to have employees earn leaveat a rate of hours in each pay period.

Hrs/Week (hours/week):Select this value to have employees earn leave at a rate of hourseach week.

Note: This value becomes thedefault on the Rates/Bonus page.

Accrual Year Type

Select the type of datesto use as the beginning and ending dates of the year:

Calendar: Thecalendar year normally begins January 1 and ends December 31.

Fiscal: Thefiscal year normally begins October 1 of a year and ends September30 of the following year.

Leave: Theleave year normally begins with the first full pay period that beginsand ends within the calendar year. However, because the length ofthe leave year is 26 pay periods, the end date falls within the followingyear.

Pay: The payyear normally begins with the first full pay period that begins andends within the calendar year, and it ends with the last pay periodthat begins and ends in the year.

Note: Before using these accrualyear types, you must define them in the Pay Calendar table. You canmodify the standard definitions as needed.

Accrual Pay Period

Select the pay periodin which you want to grant leave earnings. For example, if the monthcontains multiple pay periods and you decide to distribute earningsafter the first week, enter any value from 2 to 5 in the Accrual Pay Period field (with 2 indicating week two, 3 indicatingweek three, and so on). The default is 1 (week one).

Effective Rate

Select the dispositionof excess leave balances: Current Rate, Rate Earned, or CurrentRate Percent. Convert leave to pay using the pay ratein effect when the leave was originally accrued, the current rateof pay at the time of expiration, or a percentage of the current rate.When you select Current Rate Percent, the Effective Rate Percent field becomes available for entry.

Effective Rate Percent

Enter the percentageto use as the basis of calculations.

Accrual Processing

Use this group box toindicate how to process, calculate, and adjust accruals, and to establisha schedule for disposing of dated leave balances.

Check Non-Pay Hours

Select to tabulate thenumber of nonpay hours to determine whether to grant accrual earnings.For example, suppose the standard hours for an employee are 80 hoursper pay period. The employee has 70 nonpay hours going into a newpay period and takes an additional 10 hours of nonpaid time. The systemadds the total number of nonpay hours (80), determines that this numberequals the total of standard hours, and blocks any additional leaveaccrual for that pay period.

Special Calculation Routine

Not currently used byU.S. federal government customers.

Service Calc at Year Begin (service calculation at year begin)

Select to calculateleave hours according to length of service as of January 1 of thecurrent year. To calculate leave hours according to the length ofservice as of the leave accrual process date, deselect this checkbox. The system uses the service date in the employee's Job Data componentfor this calculation.

End of Year Indicator

Select to expire restoredleave at the end of the expiration year (Dec. 31). For example, ifyou restore an employee's leave on Jan. 15, 1998 and the leave expiresin 24 months, the system extends the expiration date beyond the two-yearlimit to the end of the year in which the leave expires (December31, 2000). This is for restored leave only.

Adjustments Allowed

Select to adjust leaveat the line-item level on the Accrual Ledger page. Otherwise, the Accrual Adjustment button is not available.

Use Old First

Select when processingceilings, carry overs, and expirations. The system reviews historicrows of leave and uses the oldest available leave first.

Track Non-Pay Hours

Select to track nonpayhours for a WGI. Nonpaid hours will be tracked on the accrual nonpay ledger.

Annual Entitlement

Select to activate theannual entitlement calculation. After each pay period, the systemcalculates the employee's annual accrual entitlement balance alongwith the next pay period's accrual. This provides the informationto determine how many leave hours employees can use before exceedingtheir full annual accrual entitlement. The number of hours to whichan employee is entitled for the remainder of the year appears on theAccrual Summary page. Calculation formulas are provided in the overview.

Convert to Other: Select to convert excess leave to other types of leave. For example,if you place a ceiling on leave accruals, you can convert excess earningsinto another leave type by entering its corresponding earnings codein the CeilingEarnings Code field. However, this value is not supportedby an automated process. Configuration is required to implement thisfeature.

Convert to Pay: Select to convert excess leave to pay by creating an AdditionalPay record, either at the rate earned or at the current rate thatis specified on the Earnings Accruals USF - Class page. The systemcreates a ledger entry to record the reduction of hours and updatesthe accruals summary. The resulting payment appears as additionalpay on the paysheets. When you select this value, the Ceiling Earnings Code field becomes available for entry.

Carryover Earnings Code

Specify how to compensateemployees in an accrual class when converting leave to pay.

Define earnings codesin the Earnings tables.

Coordinate with Grandfather

Select if employeescan use grandfathered leave earnings that put them above the carryover limit for theiraccrual class. For example, if an employee moves from an accrual classthat carries a higher carryover limit than is permitted for individualsin the current class, the system checks the Enrollment page for thecorrect carryover limit for this employee. Employees are eligibleto receive a personal carryover limit on the Enrollment page thatremains in effect until their leave earnings fall within the carryoverlimit for the rest of their accrual class. So, an employee enteringan accruals class with excess leave isn't forced to lose it, and thesystem coordinates leave usage so that it uses the oldest leave first.

Note: After you enter theoriginal amount of an employee's grandfathered leave on the Enrollmentpage, view the grandfathered leave balance on the Accrual Summarypage.

Note: Many of these checkboxes are replicated in the Earnings Code table. If you use accrualclasses to place limits on earnings codes and to specify how to accumulatethe hours that are associated with them, use the check boxes on thispage, rather than those in the Earnings Code table.

Example 1

Each check box on theEarnings Accruals USF - Balance page represents a balance to whichyou can add for:

  • Tracking earnings.

  • Recording leave hours taken,time in service, and so on.

This enables you tospecify:

  • How the system tracks andprocesses an earnings code for the accrual type in the accrual class(annual leave, for example).

  • How the hours that areassociated with that code affect accrual rates and other earningscriteria for employees in this class.

For example, selectthe Add to ServiceHours and Add to Hours Taken check boxes for the FAL earnings code (a code representing annualleave hours for the ANN360 accrual class). The system adds togetherthe annual leave taken and the accumulation of service hours on whichaccrual rates are based.

Example 2

Because earnings codesrepresenting other types of leave or work time also affect leave accrualsfor employees in the ANN360 accrual class, the leave plan administratorspecifies how hours that are associated with these codes affect balancesfor employees in the class. In the following example, the system combineshours that are associated with the earnings code for religious comptime-off and are added to the service hours on which annual leaverates are based. Hours that are associated with the earnings codefor regular earnings have been added to the accumulation of servicetime.

For example, selectthe Add to ServiceHours check box for regular earnings and religious comptime-off. If employees in the ANN360 accrual class receive 0.02 hoursof leave time for every hour of regular time that they work (accrualfrequency is hours per hour), and the employees work 30 hours of regulartime and take 10 hours of religious comp time-off, the system:

  • Adds 40 service hours totheir leave plans.

  • Updates their leave earnings,causing the leave accrual program to accrue 0.8 hours of vacationtime.

Note: This example involvesproration, because the system calculates the number of leave hoursto grant based on the actual number of service hours. Proration occursonly when the accrual frequency is hours per hour. Other accrual frequenciesdo not involve proration if the employee works fewer than the normalnumber of service hours. For example, if the accrual frequency ishours per pay period, the employee receives the full accrual for thepay period if the employee is in an active pay status for any numberof hours during that pay period.
