Accrual Payout Request
This extension enables employees to request payment from an accrual balance by submitting either an hour amount or a monetary amount. In organizations that maintain two accrual types — such as Hours and Dollars — the extension processes both values simultaneously.
When a payout request is approved, equivalent hour and money amounts are deducted from their respective balances. The extension also performs automatic adjustments as needed, based on the employee’s available accrual balances.
The extension provides several configuration controls that allow administrators to define how accrual payouts are managed within the organization. Administrators can:
- Specify which accrual types are eligible for payout.
- Select one or more calculation models to determine monetary payout amounts.
- Enforce mandatory retained balances, defined either as a fixed amount or a percentage of the available balance.
- Prevent payouts that would result in overdrawn accrual balances.
- Configure periodic payout limits that comply with organizational or regulatory requirements.
- Avoid payout restrictions that apply when processing requests through standard time-off workflows.
- Choose between manual or automated review workflows prior to payout approval.
These options allow the extension to support a wide range of policies and business rules.
Money calculation models
The extension includes several configurable models for calculating money paycode equivalents. Administrators may enable one or more of the following calculation methods:
- Base Wage Calculation: Uses the employee's base wage rate effective on the payout request date.
- Fixed Average Calculation: Uses a fixed average rate derived from historical accrued hours and monetary amounts, typically from the previous year.
- Rolling Average Calculation: Uses a dynamic average rate calculated by dividing the Money Balance by the Hours Balance as of the request date.
- Vacation Pay Rate Calculation: Uses the employee's assigned vacation pay rate effective on the payout request date.
These models allow organizations to align payout calculations with their established pay practices.
Payout request management
Employees may delete their own payout requests provided that the review process has not yet started.
Organizations that use manual review can configure a multi-level approval workflow through the reviewer list. The configuration supports:
- Up to five (5) approval levels.
- Up to twenty (20) reviewers per level.
A payout request is finalized and processed only after all required reviewers — either through manual action or automated rules — have approved the request.
User experience
The following examples illustrate how organizations can apply key features of the Accrual Payout Extension. These scenarios demonstrate calculation behavior, approval workflows, quota enforcement, and protections against overdrawn accrual balances.
After all required reviewers — either through manual action or automated rules — have approved a payout request, the workflow performs the following steps:
Calculates the appropriate accrual conversion based on the calculation model applicable on the request submission date:
The monetary equivalent of the requested vacation hours, or
The hour equivalent of a requested monetary payout amount.
Adds the resulting money-taking paycodes to the employee's timecard (Details and Totals add-on).
Displays the hour deductions in the Timecard Totals add-on using the paycodes defined in the entitlement cascade. This shows how hours are drawn from each applicable accrual year or bucket.
Accrual payout request using base wage calculation with manual approval
In this default configuration, the system uses the employee's current base hourly wage on the date the request is submitted.
Employee A
Base wage: CAD $20.00/hour
Accrual balances: 80 hours and CAD $1,600
The employee submits a payout request for 15 hours, resulting in a calculated monetary amount of CAD $300.00. Because sufficient balances exist, the request is routed for manual approval. Upon approval:
Updated balances: 65 hours and CAD $1,300
Automatic approval with overdraw prevention
In this configuration, the system validates available balances before automatically approving the request. If the request exceeds the available dollar balance, the workflow adjusts the payout and allows the employee to accept the adjustment or cancel the request.
Employee B
Base wage: CAD $20.00/hour
Accrual balances: 80 hours and CAD $1,500
The employee submits a payout request for 80 hours.
Calculated cost: CAD $1,600, which exceeds the available monetary balance.
The workflow automatically adjusts the payout to 75 hours at a total of CAD $1,500. The employee may accept the adjusted amount or cancel the request before submission.
Payout quota enforcement
Organizations may define a maximum payout limit (quota) for a specific period, such as a calendar year. Even when an employee has sufficient accrual balances, payouts are restricted or adjusted to ensure compliance with the quota.
Company A sets a payout quota of CAD $1,000 per employee per period.
Employee C
Base wage: CAD $20.00/hour
Accrual balances: 80 hours and CAD $1,500
Earlier in the year, the employee received a payout of CAD $800 (40 hours).
The employee may continue to submit payout requests until reaching the remaining quota of CAD $200.
If the employee submits a request that exceeds the remaining quota, the workflow automatically limits the request to CAD $200 (10 hours). The employee may then choose to accept the adjusted request or cancel it.
Considerations and limitations
-
When tracking two accrual types for the same entitlement, you must ensure that each accrual has equivalent balances and configurations with respect to grants, limits, and policies.
-
Employees who are assigned the Base Wage calculation model must have a base wage assignment that exceeds zero (0).
-
Because the Fixed Average calculation model relies on grants awarded during the previous year, the model should not be used with employees hired during the current year.
-
Accrual policies must be defined with the appropriate taking paycode.
-
The extension processes only hours- and money-based accrual codes; it ignores day-based accrual codes.
-
When the Vacation Pay Rate Calculation model is in use,
-
Do not assign overlapping Vacation Pay Rate Certificates in the employee's people record.
-
You must define each of the following fields and values in the Skills and Certifications section of the employee's people record:
-
Certification: Certificate name
-
Number: Employee wage (This value can optionally contain a decimal point or comma, but it must not contain a currency symbol.)
-
Grant date: Certificate start date
-
Expiration date: Certificate expiration date
-
-
-
You can set accrual code payout boundaries using:
- Eligibility threshold.
- Minimum payout.
- Maximum payout.
Before you start
Before you configure this business process, you must do the following:
Comments: Configure two comments; one is used for the payout paycode edit and the other is used to identify the paycode edits in the Timecard. The paycode category and the active option must be selected during configuration of each comment. See the Comments topic.
Paycodes: Configure paycodes to support the accrual payout process. See the Paycode definition topic. Examples include:
An hours-based paycode that is added by the process to the employee's schedule as an indicative paycode. This paycode can optionally be configured as hidden.
The payout paycode that is added as a Taking in the accrual policies. Only one taking paycode is mapped with the accrual code in the Accrual Policy decision table. The Taking paycodes for time off are different from Taking paycodes for payout.
Corresponding money and hour paycodes used for Taking.
Accrual codes: Create accrual codes (hour, day, and money types) for which accrual payout requests are made. If Allow Manual Edits is selected, only the corresponding accrual code is available for payout. See the Accrual codes topic.
Accrual policies: Configure accrual policies using each of the accrual codes created for this business process. See the Accrual policies topic.
If an accrual policy has paycodes in Takings, only the corresponding accrual code is paid out.
Accrual profiles: Configure an accrual profile using each of the accrual polices created for this business process. If an accrual policy is set to Display, only the corresponding accrual code is available for payout. See the Accrual profiles topic.
Symbolic purposes: Create a symbolic (reviewer) purpose of the Reviewer Override type and Active status. See the Symbolic Purposes topic.
-
People Information uses this purpose to link to the reviewers list.
-
Assign the Purpose to the employee in People Information under .
Reviewer lists: Create a General and Active reviewer list so that the accrual request can identify the approver. Add the appropriate reviewer at each of the required steps, and select <None> in the Also Notify section. See the Reviewer Lists topic.
- Configure no more than 5 review steps and no more than 20 reviewers at each step.
- Do not repeat the same reviewer on multiple steps.
- Assign the Reviewer List to the employee in People Information under .
Workflow notifications: Configure two workflow notifications — one for the employee and the second for the reviewer. During the configuration of each notification, select Recipient List will be supplied at runtime and Send to employee in the Recipients section; and Do not suppress duplicates in the Suppress Duplicate Alerts section. See the Configure Notifications for Business Processes topic. Examples include:
Name: Accrual Payout Request — Employee Notification
Subject, Long Message and Control Center: Select custom tags as appropriate.
Name: Accrual Payout Request — Reviewer Notification

Variable name
Variable type
Description
Parameter Name
String
Internal field label; do not change.
Locale Policy
String
Name of the locale policy for which the label applies. When the label applies to all locales, retain the empty value.
Message
String
Label displayed in the Workflow form, or error message.
Note:- Localization of business process workflows remains optional, but is supported.
- You can translate some or all messages by adding lines to the table in their preferred translation for specific locales. Decision tables are scanned from top to bottom; therefore, place messages for the most commonly used Locale Policy at the top of the decision table and less-restrictive locale policies at the bottom.
- Text within tags ("<>") must not be changed.
- The decision table holds all messages represented with standard English labels; these apply to all locales when the Locale Policy is set to !=empty.
- Names of the parameters in the decision table column Parameter Name must be used as is. If any parameter value needs to be localized for a different Locale Policy, copy the Parameter Name with the !=empty Locale Policy, add a new row to the decision table with the appropriate Locale Policy, and then add the localized value in the Message column.
- Decision tables support operators like "Contains," "Starts with," "Ends with," and "Is Not Empty." You can achieve your preferred results by following these examples:
- To match any non-empty or any string (like *), use the "Is Not Empty" operator.
- To match a string starting with "ABC" (like "ABC*"), use the "Starts with" operator and set the value to "ABC".
- To match a string containing "English" as substring, use the "Contains" operator with the value "English".
