There isn’t any field level help for the Proportion field on the Limit Definition Details screen.  It’s in the Limit Settings  grouping.  We have it set to Yes, Must be earned before used.  We’re assuming that within a period, which we’ve defined as 2 weeks that if we’re 1 week into a period that 50% of the period’s allocation will be earned.  Then we have the phrase  “must be earned before used”, we think this implies that the absence isn’t earned until the employee works that period.  In other words, if the employee leaves at the beginning of the 3rd period in December, they will only accrue 2 weeks of the monthly amount and not the full month’s amount.

Are we understanding how this works correctly?  

Thank you
