Do I need a Service Based or Fixed Entitlement rule?

When setting up an absence rule, when setting the entitlement at the rule level (as opposed to using a contracted multiplier or accrued rule type), the entitlement can be set based on length of service.

For example, a company may offer new starters 20 days holiday. Each year, they gain an extra day of holiday, that increases to a maximum of 25 days.

It’s possible to configure an absence rule to allow for this behavior. You can even apply “occurrences” against each of these entitlements.

On the absence rule, you select Fixed or Service to configure the rule to either used a fixed entitlement or one based on length of service.
