Viewing your Absence Accrual Log

Your Absence Accrual Log indicates when absence entitlement you have earned is added to your absence balance and when absences you request are subtracted from the accrued amount.

The log shows earned entitlement according to the rules in your organization. Balances can accrue at a fixed rate throughout the year, or your entitlement may be driven by your Timesheet entries.

To view your Accrual Log:

  1. In the menu, select the Time Off process to view your absence calendar.

The current year is the current calendar year, unless the absence accrual rules in your organization use a specific day other than 1st January for starting and resetting absence accruals.

View accrual for different types of absence

Use the absence reason drop-down menu to select the type of absence you want to view. Only accruing absence types are shown. For example, if sick leave does not accrue in your organization, you will not see it here.

Set the displayed period

Use the accrual period drop-down menu to select the time range that you want to view. By default, this displays the current year to today's date. You can display balances for:

  • The year to date: shows your current accrued balance as of today's date

  • The current year to year end: displays your projected balance to the end of the current year

  • The next 2 calendar years: displays projected balances for the full year for each of the next 2 years

  • Previous calendar years: displays accrual events for previous years.

Alternatively, use the arrows to display the next or previous period from the list.

Accrual table

The accrual table displays a list of events that either add to or subtract from your absence balance for the selected reason.

Column  
Date The date the accrual event occurred.
Event

The type of transaction that added to or subtracted from your balance on that date.

Events can be as follows:

  • Reset: on the reset date, your accrual for the year is typically set back to 0. You may be entitled to carry over some of your balance from the previous year, in which case the eligible amount is added to your carry over balance. Reset events are shown in blue.

  • Accrue: an amount is added to your balance based your organization's accrual rules. The amount that accrues is your annual allowance divided by the number of accrual periods in a year. For example, if your annual allowance is 24 days accruing monthly, you will see an accrued amount of 2 days every month.

  • Add: an amount is added to your balance due to an adjustment by your HR team, or when time in lieu is added. Rows with an added value are shown in green.

  • Subtract: an amount is subtracted from your balance, usually because of booked time being used. Booked days/hours are subtracted on the day they are used. Rows with a subtracted value are shown in red.

Amount The amount of time added to or subtracted from your balances on that date.
Time in Lieu

Your time in lieu balance on that date.

If the date is in the future, this is the projected time in lieu balance on that date, including any booked or pending absences to that date, which are shown as being subtracted on the date they are due to be taken, in accordance with your organization's deduction order rules. By default, time in lieu is used before carry over.

Carry Over

Your carry over balance on that date.

If the date is in the future, this is the projected carry over balance on that date, including any booked or pending absences to that date, which are shown as being subtracted on the date they are due to be taken, in accordance with your organization's deduction order rules.

Accrual

Your available accrued balance on that date, after the relevant amount has been added or subtracted.

If the date is in the future, this is the projected accrual balance on that date, including any booked or pending absences to that date, which are shown as being subtracted on the date they are due to be taken.
