Many organizations allow their HR department to provide additional leave entitlement for potential new hires as part of a negotiated employment contract. In most cases, the additional leave entitlement is reduced as the employee’s seniority increases and, once the combined level is reached, is dropped altogether. This may also occur during an acquisition if the company acquired has more generous entitlement plans than the acquiring company. The employees are not “grandfathered” into their old plans, but are allowed to keep the additional leave entitlement. Once their seniority increases and reaches the level that entitles them to the current entitlement value in the acquiring company’s existing plan, they then revert to the acquiring company’s standard leave plans and seniority levels. You can manage this process within standard configuration and rules in the Time Evaluation schema and prevent the manual calculations and adjustment to the quota balances that you would otherwise have to complete annually.
