The document describes how to set up a leave accrual plan in Oracle HRMS. It involves creating elements to track opening balances, adjustments, and encashment. An accrual plan is then defined to calculate leave balances based on accrual bands. A function returns accrued leave as of a given date based on contract type and tables storing accrual data. The accrual formula uses this function to calculate accrued days between hire/contract dates and the calculation date.

1. How to Setup up Leave Accrual Plan
Accrual Plan:
Oracle Provides Accrual plan Functionality for calculating leaves balance calculation and Balance Carry Over
calculations
The following points should be taken into consideration for calculation Balances
1. Opening Balance : -
Some of the Organization Provides Yearly opening balance to employee. We need to store these opening balances in
an Element
2. Leave Adjustment: -
There are cases in which adjustments are made because of redundancies in calculation of leave balance. In such
cases we need to store these adjustments in an element and make the use of the same.
3. Leave Encashment:
Organizations provide policy for encashment of leave when Leave balance exceeds a given amount. In order to
capture these details, we need to have an element for the same
How to Setup Leave Accruals
1) Create New Element for Opening Balance

2) Create New Element for Adjustment Days

5) Define Accrual Plan

6) Go to Accrual Bands to define the No of Leaves employee could avail during the Year
7) Go to Net Accrual Calculations to record the leave calculation

3. 8) When one creates an accrual plan, system automatically generate below said elements and their corresponding links
too (Create Links Manually if not created Automatically)
· Vacation Leave Plan
· Vacation Leave Plan Carried Over
· Vacation Leave Plan Payroll Balance
· Vacation Leave Plan Residual
· Vacation Leave Plan Tagging
9) Register Employee with the Accrual Plan

4. Now in the Above Scenario we are using the seeded Formula “PTO_PAYROLL_CALCULATION”, this would
calculate as per the accrual bands set for the said duration of Service.
Requirements could vary as per each of the clients; we have created a scenario wherein we would be taking the
Accruals as per the contract type of the employee
