Alternate Leave Policy Rate (ALPRT)

The Alternate Leave Policy Rate (ALPRT) page allows you to define accrual rates used in the Alternate Accrual Method calculation logic. The accrual amount applies when the minimum hours amount is met/exceeded, up until the minimum hours from the next record for the leave policy and type is met. Accrual amounts are not prorated. The accrual amount is expressed in the basis for the leave type and the minimum hours are always expressed in hours/minutes.

The accrual amount is accrued for an employee based on the minimum hours even if the Standard Accrual check box is checked or unchecked.

The Alternate Leave Policy Rate reference page allows leave rates to be defined at different organizational levels including Home Department, Home Unit and Union Local.
