Sick Leave - Proportional Unit Accrual Method

Payroll | Leave Setup | Sick Leave Tables | Values tab

Summary

These examples show how PayGlobal accrues employee sick leave when the Sick Leave | Values tab | Accrual method = "Prop" and the Accrue entitlement weekly field is either "Yes" or "No".

Important: When you use the proportional unit accrual method, the Entitlement (weeks) and Maximum units accrued per week fields must contain data. If they are blank, then the Total accrued will be zero when the table rolls over.

 

Example

You need to set up sick leave tables for full-time employees based on the following values:

Entitlement:

40 hours sick leave (5 days) after the first six months' service.

40 hours sick leave (5 days) every 12 months.

Pay period:

Weekly

Full-time hours:

40

 

Accrue entitlement weekly = "Yes"

When Accrue entitlement weekly = "Yes", Total accrued is calculated each pay period.

Sick Leave Table - 6 months

Setup Tab

 

or months:

Next table on cycle end:

Twelve-month table for 40 hours

Values Tab

 

Type of unit:

Hours

Accrual method:

Prop

Accrue entitlement weekly:

Yes

Accrual rate per pay period:

0.0385

Stand down period (months):

0.00

Entitlement (weeks):

1.0000

Maximum units accrued per week:

1.5385
(40 hours / 26 pay periods)

The Accrual rate per pay period value is the proportional hourly accrual rate.

  • At the end of the six-month sick leave cycle, this table rolls on to the twelve-month table.

Each week, PayGlobal uses these six-month table values in the proportional unit accrual method calculation.

  1. Calculate the current pay period accrual:

    *

    Qualifying units in current pay

    =

    Current pay period accrual

    0.0385

    Calculate the maximum units accrued per pay period:

    Maximum units accrued per week

    Pay period factor

    =

    Maximum units accrued per pay period

    Compare the following values:

    Current pay period accrual:

    1.4245

    Maximum units accrued per period:

    1.5385

    Use the lesser of these two values in Step 4.

  2. Calculate the current Total accrued:

Maximum units accrued per week:

0.7692
(40 hours / 52 pay periods)

The Accrual rate per pay period value is the proportional hourly accrual rate.

  • Next table on cycle end is blank, so this table will roll on to itself after each twelve-month sick leave cycle.

Each week, PayGlobal uses these 12-month table values in the proportional unit accrual method calculation.

  1. Calculate the current pay period accrual:

    Accrual rate per pay period

    *

    Qualifying units in current pay

    =

    Current pay period accrual

    0.0192

    37 (for example)

    0.7104

    Calculate the maximum units accrued per pay period:

    *

    Pay period factor

    =

    Maximum units accrued per pay period

    0.7692

    0.7692

    Compare the following values:

    Current pay period accrual:

    0.7104

    Maximum units accrued per period:

    0.7692

    Use the lesser of these two values in Step 4.

  2. Calculate the current Total accrued:

    Current pay period accrual

    +

    Total accrued value at previous pay

    =

    Current Total accrued

    0.7104

    30 (for example)

    30.7104

     

Accrue entitlement weekly = "No"

When the Accrue entitlement weekly = "No", Total accrued is calculated at the beginning of the new sick leave cycle and it uses the accrual rate of the new table.

Entitlement (weeks):

0.00

Maximum units accrued per week:

0.0000

The Maximum units accrued per week value for the six-month table is zero because entitlement is calculated at the beginning of the next sick leave table.

  • When the six-month table rolls on to the first twelve-month table, PayGlobal applies the Accrual rate per pay period specified in the new table.

When the six-month table rolls over, PayGlobal uses the values in the next table.

The Accrual rate per pay period value is the proportional hourly accrual rate.

  • At the end of the six-month sick leave cycle, this table rolls on to the second twelve-month table, PayGlobal applies the Accrual rate per pay period specified in the new table.

When the 12 months - 26-week accrual rate table rolls over, PayGlobal uses the following values to calculate the employee's Total accrued:

  1. Calculate the current pay period accrual:
