Must have worked 130 hours in previous calendar quarter

Similar to the 680 minimum-hour example requirement, you can define this requirement using a combination of a configured balance, an accrual, the Error Rule, and these associated conditions:

  • Worked N Minutes
  • Is Balance in Range

See Rule configuration.

  1. Create a new balance to track the number of eligible work minutes an employee had in the previous calendar quarter. For example:
    Balance Description Type Maximum Minimum
    PREV-QTR Number of eligible minutes emp had in previous qtr Minutes 7800 0
  2. Configure the balance to be deducted on the first day of each quarter. For example:
    Transfer To Calculation Group Apply Unit Apply Value
    *DEDUCT BALANCE [depends on implementation] Quarter 1
  3. Create an accrual that accrues the new balance on the first day of each quarter at a ratio of 1. Use the same custom ratio that is defined in the paid sick leave accrual, starting on the accrual commencement date. For example:
    Name Description Apply Every Apply On Value Start Date End Date
    ELIGIBLE WORK MINUTES PREV QTR Eligible Work Minutes Prev Qtr Quarter 1 01/01/2012 01/01/3000
  4. Configure a single accrual detail, with the parameters that are listed below. For this example condition, set a maximum of 7800 minutes or 130 hours. After employees have accrued 7800 minutes, they cannot accrue any additional time.

    This table shows the configuration detail:

    Parameter Value Description
    Priority 1
    Min Seniority Value 0 The accrual detail applies to all active employees regardless of their length of service. For example, they begin accruing paid sick leave immediately.
    Min Seniority Units DAYS
    Max Seniority Value 99
    Max Seniority Units YEARS
    Balance Name PREV-QTR (example only) The balance that is defined by the implementation team to track the number of eligible minutes the employee has worked since the start of the law.
    Units to Apply 1 The ratio of work time to eligible work time. Because this balance is tracking work time, the ratio is 1:1.
    Ratio com.workbrain.app.modules. entitlements.SumOfGoodMinutes The same custom ratio class that is defined above.
