Weekly-norm cap
The Weekly-norm cap caps the account balance at the employee’s average weekly norm. Any surplus above that ceiling is paid out (the default) or forfeited.
When to use
- Agreements that let an employee carry at most one week’s worth of flex, paying out anything above it.
- Where the ceiling should track each employee’s own norm rather than a fixed number of hours — a part-timer’s cap is lower than a full-timer’s automatically.

How it works
After the crediting steps, the step compares the balance with the employee’s average weekly norm. Anything above the norm is removed from the account and either paid out or forfeited, according to the disposition.
