Allotments

Allotments are lump-sum amounts that are awarded to resources either one time or once a year. Allotments are calculated up front, and may or may not be adjusted over time. For example, at the start of each year, resources can be given an annual allotment of three personal holiday days.

In contrast, accruals are given in increments over a more frequent, cyclical basis.
