Must have taken less than 2400 minutes or 40 hours paid sick in current year

  1. Create a new balance to track the amount of sick time that the employee has taken in the current year. Ensure that this is the same type as the current balance that holds the employee’s paid sick time. For example:
    Balance Description Type Maximum Minimum
    PAID-SICK-PER-YEAR Amount of sick an emp can use in one cal year Minutes 2400 0
  2. Configure the paid sick time code (for example, PAID-SICK) to decrement this balance too. For example:
    Balance Name Balance Type
    PAID-SICK-PER-YEAR DECREMENT MINUTES

    When an override is created with a time that exceeds the available balance, that day’s timesheet will be in error.

    Note: This balance only tracks the amount of sick time that the employee has taken in the current year, not their actual paid sick time balance as determined by the accrual. The combination of these two balances determines an employee’s eligibility to take sick time on a particular date. For example, an employee might have a paid sick balance that cannot be used because they have already taken their 2400 minutes of paid sick leave in the current year.
  3. Create two accruals to give the employee their annual allotment of available paid sick time. The two accruals define new employees who are hired in the middle of the year and employees who are already employed at the beginning of the year.

SICK LEAVE PER YEAR - NEW HIRE

This accrual should be configured to run on an employee’s hire date, with a start date based on the accrual commencement date and an end date of 01/01/3000. For example:

Name Description Apply Every Apply On Value Start Date End Date
SICK LEAVE PER YEAR - NEW HIRE Calendar Year Sick Avail Per Year Hire Date 1 01/01/2012 01/01/3000

This defines the amount of sick leave within the current year that the employee can take, provided that they have a sick balance. Until they have a sick balance, they cannot take paid sick leave. This keeps track of how much they have taken in the current year once they do take it.

SICK LEAVE PER YEAR

Configure this accrual to run on the first of every year starting on the accrual commencement date. For example:

Name Description Apply Every Apply On Value Start Date End Date
SICK LEAVE PER YEAR Calendar Year Sick Avail Per Year Year 1 01/01/2012 01/01/3000

At the beginning of each calendar year, an employee gets the maximum accrual of available yearly sick time. If they have sick availability left over from their hire year or the previous year, that amount is added to reach the threshold. An employee cannot have more than the maximum available sick minutes within a calendar year.
