Why would I use a Leave Period Accrual Ceiling?

Some union contracts may require employers to limit the number of leave hours an employee may accrue within a given leave period. Applying a leave period accrual ceiling will cause Costpoint’s Compute Leave Accrual to limit the number of hours (or amount if leave type is tracked by amount) an employee can accrue within the open leave period.  This method will only be implemented if the accrual is based on hours worked.

Why would I use a Year Accrual Ceiling?

A Period Leave Accrual Ceiling would apply.

According to Executive Order 13706, a contractor may limit an employee’s paid sick leave accrual each year to 56 hours. Applying a year accrual ceiling will cause Costpoint’s Compute Leave Accrual application to limit the number of hours (or amount, if leave type is tracked by amount) an employee can accrue within a year.

If you select Leave Year as the Year Option, then the limit on the year accrual will be a based on the open Leave Year as defined in Manage Leave Periods. If you select Anniversary as the Year Option, then the limit on the year accrual will be based on the employee’s anniversary year. If the employee’s accrual exceeds the ceiling, Costpoint will not track the excess as lost leave or transfer it to an Excess Leave Type. This method applies to only the leave accrued, not the leave balance.
