Accrual Proration Using Working Days in IFS Absence Calculation

Hi all,

I need support with the following customer scenario in IFS.

Employees accrue vacation monthly based on seniority:

• Year 0 to 3: 10 hours per month
• Year 4 to 17: 13.36 hours per month

Accruals should vary based on employee status:

• During Short Term Disability (STD): accruals continue
• During Long Term Disability (LTD): accruals stop

Example:

• Greg starts on 01 Jan 2025
• 07 May 2025: STD starts → accruals continue
• 20 Aug 2025: LTD starts → accruals stop from this date

We are using Absence Thresholds, Employment Types, and Degree of Occupation to achieve this.

Issue:
When prorating accruals, IFS seems to use calendar days instead of working days.

Example (Aug accrual):

• Customer expectation:
  • Aug 1 to Aug 19 = 13 days (based on working days)
  • Working days in Aug = 21
  • Calculation: 13 / 21 × 10 = 6.19
• IFS calculation:
  • Aug 1 to Aug 19 = 19 days (calendar days)
  • Total days in Aug = 31
  • Calculation: 19 / 31 × 10 = 6.129

Questions:

1. Is there a way to define working days vs non working days for absence accrual calculations in IFS, instead of using calendar days?
2. Are there any alternative approaches to achieve the expected calculation in IFS?

<Employee File - Employment Period>

<Absence - Limit Details>

Thanks & Best Regards,
