Leave Management

Accrual

The gradual accumulation of leave entitlement over time.

Full Definition

Leave accrual is the process by which employees earn leave entitlement progressively over time — typically calculated per pay period, per month, or per year of service. For example, an employee entitled to 24 days annual leave per year would accrue 2 days per month. HR software automates accrual calculations, adjusts for part-time employees, tracks balances in real-time, and prevents employees from taking more leave than they have accrued.
