Earned Types are the preset Vacation, Sabbatical, Free Week, Training and Extra.
You can also enable earned type for any Custom Personnel Type.
The days earned if returned in hours are calculated based on the Working Hours defined either in a current valid Labour Rule or if no LR found, the Working Hours from the User Profile are taken into account.
Access the Earned Types Rule Manager through the Personnel Tree icon > Personnel Management > Earned Types Rule Manager.
This is where you can configure the “vacation”, “sabbatical”, “freeweek”, “training” and “extra” sub rules:
Vacation
The vacation sub rule works like this: The number of days specified in “Days During Period” will be earned between the dates specified in “Vacation Period”. Typically, the vacation year is from the 1st of jan to the 31st of dec and you earn 25 days in this period.
Those vacation days will either be released and usable after the date specified in “Release Date” or instantly when earned. For example, a user could earn 25 days of vacation during 2004 but they won’t be usable until the 1st of may 2005.
Sabbatical
The sabbatical sub rule works like this: If “Period Duration” is 6 years and “Days Per Year” is 5, then 6 years after employment date the user will have 30 (6x5) days of sabbatical ready to use up. Then, after another 6 years, he/she will have 30 more days.
Free Week
The free week sub rule is much like the sabbatical sub rule, but with a slightly different input. If, for example, “Period Duration” is 12 months and “Days Earned Per Period” is 5, then every year 5 days of freeweek will be released to the user.
Note: The amount of Freeweek earned is specified in hours, not days.
Training
Earned exactly like Free Week (see above).
Note: The amount of Training earned is specified in hours, not days.
Extra
Earned exactly like vacation (see above).
The name of the “Extra” earned type can be changed under “Personnel” > ”Personnel Management” > ”Settings” > ”Work Roster Settings”.
Note: earned time is calculated based on the Labour Rule's "Normal Working Hours Per Day". If not active Labour Rule is found during the Earned Types Rule, then the earned time is calculated based on the Users 08:00h "Normal Working Hours" in the User Profile.
