When setting up an Accrual Rule use the Prorate and Transition Only options to prorate the amount earned and when during the level.

Prorate

Prorate takes the Allocation Units and the units to calculate the value earned.

Transition Only

Transition Only prorates when the employee is in the last unit of their level. Prorate must be ticked on as well to use Transition Only.

This option works in the transition year only.

Example: If the unit is 3 years the employee will prorate at the end of the third year only.

Setting Examples

Prorate Off and Transition Off

With both the Prorate and Transition Only off the employee will be updated with the starting value until the next level is reached.

The earned value is the same during the level.

Prorate On and Transition Only Off

With only the Prorate ticked on the earned value within the level is prorated.

The employee earns a prorated amount during the level reaching the start value of the next level at end of current level.

Prorate On and Transition Only On

With Prorate and Transition Only ticked on the system will prorate only in the last unit of the level.

The amount is the level start value until the last unit of the level. The value is prorated over the last unit.
