Service rules

The service rules define the Service Begin date from which length of service is calculated for processing; for example start date, adjusted start date, birth date, etc. Length-of-service calculations are used to start cycle counting for accruals, allotments, and limits. They determine the amount of time a resource has worked; for example hours, days, weeks.

Service rules can include waiting periods in case the length of service starts on one date, such as the seniority date, plus a waiting period. The waiting period can begin on a different date than the requirements date.
