Accrual Plan:
Accrual plans permit eligible employees to accrue PTO (paid time off) each year as they work, to use for vacation or sick leave. Oracle HRMS has
no restrictions on the number of plans you can set up, each with its own units of accrued time (hours or days) and its own rules.
The system calculates accruals for all plans on a calendar year basis. That is, on 1 January of each year, accruals for that year begin. Accruals for
new hires can begin on their hire date, six months after their hire date, or at the beginning of the next calendar year.
For all plans, participants' payroll periods determine the frequency with which they accrue PTO. Employees on a monthly payroll accrue time
each month, employees on semi-monthly payrolls accrue time twice each month, and so on. PTO accrual occurs automatically for each eligible
plan participant on the last day of his or her pay period, independently of any payroll run.
For example, if employees on a semi-monthly payroll participate in a vacation PTO plan permitting the accrual of 84 hours per year, they accrue
3.5 hours on the last day of the year's first pay period, say 15 January. They then accrue another 3.5 hours on 31 January, another 3.5 hours on 14
February and so forth.
Because accrual plans use employees' payroll calendars to schedule accruals, the assignment of every employee participating in an accrual plan
must include an assignment to a payroll.

Create Accrual Plan
Navigation: Global HRMS Manager > Total Compensation > Basic > Accrual Plans
1. Enter the Accrual Name (Same as the Absence Name)
2. Select the Accrual Category, based on the category that is selected the balance will be displayed in the SOE
3. Select the Accrual start date, based on the date we select the accrual balance will be calculated
4. Accrual Units will be same as the Unit that we selected above in the Absence type
5. Select the Accrual formula provided by the oracle or a custom formula based on the business requirement
6. Select the carryover formula seeded one or the custom one based on the requirement
7. Select the Absence information form the list.
8. Based on the Business requirement select the Balance reset date e.g. if you need to reset the accrual count on Jan 1st, select the option 1
January. We can also build our custom balance if needed
9. Select the Period of ineligibility: Length, units or any custom formula
10. Save the work.
