Minimum and maximum hours worked are used to determine hours-accrual for some benefit-hour policies.
A company allows a weekly-paid, part-time employee working at least 20 hours per week (a minimum) to accrue 0.385 hours per pay period. However, when an employee works over 30 hours in a single pay period (a maximum), then no further accruals will be calculated.
In other words, this company’s part-time employees would accrue in any single pay at most 0.385 hours, which could equal up to 20 hours per year.
Setup for Part-Time
The Hours Accrual Code for part-time employees is set up separately.
Setup for Full-Time
To set up an accrual for the employees working full-time, another unique Code is added using 31 hours Min and 40 hours Max to accrue 0.770 hours per pay period. Then, the maximum number of hours that a full-time employee could accrue in any one pay period will be 0.770, which would equal 40 hours per year.
