How Can I Define these Terms?
| Per Policy | By company policy, there are a number of days or hours that are granted to all employees. Thus, we define the concept of days/hours per policy, as the total number of days/hours one is entitled to in a specific period. |
| Accrued | Accrued days/hours are time-off granted to employees for specific periods that are based on Time-Off Policies. These days will always be reflected in the employees Time-Off Counters, and their calculation will depend on how the company has configured their time off policies. |
| Available | By Available we mean the number of days/hours an employee have at his/her disposal to use. Because there are 2 different ways to configure these available days, one will notice in the counters that these days can be all granted a the beginning of the year. Or, they can be generated on a daily or monthly basis. |
| Taken Days | Taken days/hours are time off one have enjoyed. This time off will be reflected as taken once the administrator has approved the absence requested. |
| Accumulated or Carry Over | Days/hours that employees can carry over until the next period. |
| Allowance Adjustments | These are negative or positive adjustments that an administrator can make in an employee's time off to grant or subtract days/hours for a specific period. |
💡 Counters Doubts
- Counters have no limits and extra days can be requested
- Counters show days, half days and days with decimals, but not single days.
