This rule is designed to support Occupational Sick Pay (OSP) in the United Kingdom for employers that use work contracts, so that employers can pay OSP with a three-day waiting period on a rolling basis (12 months). With this feature, employees can be paid out based on an employer-specific payout scheme and collective bargaining agreement.
Before You Begin: If you’re using the Award Entitlements to Employee background job and have the Recalculate Balance Periods checkbox selected, the Balance Replenish Rule won’t work properly. You must clear the Recalculate Balance Periods checkbox for this rule to function effectively.
The rule checks employees’ history for a clean period, to ensure that the lookback months or days have no deductions. If there is a clean period, it will calculate and replenish the amount by subtracting the time used from the balance maximum (maximum values that employees can accrue for each of the benefit balances they have been assigned). The balance maximum is required.
