Accrual plugins
Accrual plugins define how employees earn time off over time. Each plugin has its own calculation method and configuration options.
How accruals work
Accrual plugins calculate how much time off an employee earns and when. The system:
- Forecasts future accruals based on plugin configuration via the accrual forecast job
- Materializes accruals on the scheduled dates via the accrual materialize job
- Credits the employee’s time bank account
Multiple accrual plugins can be combined on a single policy. For example, you might use:
- Danish Vacation for standard vacation (25 days)
- Age-Based for senior days (extra days for employees over 60)
Available accrual plugins
Simplified Danish vacation accrual with standard settings
Special vacation rules for Danish apprentices (elever)
Earn time off monthly throughout the year
Earn time off at regular intervals (quarterly, semiannual, etc.)
Earn time off once per year as a lump sum
Additional days based on employee age
