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 Case 1: Member's Pay Run Frequency = Weekly Formula → 'value of yearly entitlement/ number of weeks in a year’
Case 2: Member's Pay Run Frequency = Fortnightly Formula → '(value of yearly entitlement/ weeks in a year) * 2’
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.
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. |
