Standard Week Hours (as per Finance Application settings)

Unit type refers to the measures of leave entitlements for a member. The available options are Hours and Days depending on the selected Leave Category.  

  • Hours: Yearly entitlement to be displayed, tracked, and calculated in Hours.

    The Hours Unit Type is applicable for Annual Leave, Annual Leave - Fixed Hours, Personal/ Carer's Leave - Fixed Hours, and Personal/ Carer's Leave.
  • Days: Yearly entitlement to be displayed, tracked, and calculated in Days.

    The Days Unit Type is applicable for Compassionate Leave – Paid, Paid Parental Leave.

Yearly Entitlement

The annual entitlement of leave units allocated to the member for the selected Leave Category.

Based on the selected Unit Type, the Yearly Entitlement will be 'in hours' or 'in days', respectively.

Accrual Units 

Accrual Units are shown and calculated according to the selected Earnings Category and Unit Type aligned with the Yearly Entitlement and are auto-calculated.

The Accrual Units are calculated according to the Weekly Pay Frequency, and Fortnightly Pay Frequency.  

How the Accrual Units are Calculated?

A. Earning Category = Accrue Fixed hours per primary pay run
Unit Type = Hour; Number of Weeks in a Year = 52; and Yearly Entitlement = 152.

Case 1: Member's Pay Run Frequency = Weekly

Formula → 'value of yearly entitlement/ number of weeks in a year’

  • Applying the above formula → (152/52) = 2.92307 hours per week.
  • As a result, the accrual units will be 2.92307 hours. 

Case 2: Member's Pay Run Frequency = Fortnightly

Formula → '(value of yearly entitlement/ weeks in a year) * 2

  • Applying the above formula → (152/52) * 2 = 5.84614 hours per fortnight.
  • As a result, the accrual units will be 2.92307 hours. 
B. Earning Category = Accrue hours per hour worked

Unit Type = Hour; Number of Weeks in a Year = 52; Work Hours in a Week = 38; and Yearly Entitlement = 152.

Case 1: Member's Pay Run Frequency = Weekly

Formula →  '(value in yearly entitlement/ number of weeks in a year) / work hours in a week’. Here the work hours are the standard week work hours saved in the Application Settings.

  • Applying the above formula → (152/52)/38= 0.07692 hours.
  • As a result, the accrual units will be 0.07692 hours.

 Case 2: Member's Pay Run Frequency = Fortnightly

Accrual units are determined using the same formula as in the Weekly Frequency.

The Accrual Units are not displayed when the Earning Category is No accrual and consequently, not applicable for Compassionate Leave – Paid, Paid Parental Leave, Leave Without Pay, and Family and Domestic Violence Leave.

Annual Leave balance Carry forward?

If the Annual Leave balance Carry forward? setting is set to YES, the leave balance will be carried forward on the member's work anniversary; otherwise, it will be reset to zero.

The default setting displays as YES for Annual Leave, Annual Leave - Fixed Hours, Personal/ Carer's Leave, Paid Parental Leave, and Personal/ Carer's Leave - Fixed Hours. 

For Compassionate Leave – Paid, Leave Without Pay, and Family and Domestic Violence – Paid, the settings are set to NO.

Encashable?

Encashable refers to the compensation or payment in exchange for accrued unused leave of an employee. The employees have the option to encash their accumulated leave during their employment tenure while retiring or continuing to work.

Encashable is set to YES for Annual Leave, Annual Leave - Fixed Hours, Personal/ Carer's Leave, and Personal/ Carer's Leave - Fixed Hours by default and is editable.
