Annual leave accrual is the process through which employees accumulate paid vacation days, typically based on their length of service or hours worked.
For full-time employees, annual leave typically accrues at a rate of 2.923 hours per week, which translates to four weeks (or 152 hours) of paid leave for a standard 38-hour work week. Part-time employees accrue annual leave on a pro-rata basis, meaning their leave is calculated according to the number of hours they work each week.
This system ensures that employees have adequate time off to recharge while still being compensated for their work. It's important for both employees and employers to track accrued leave accurately to avoid disputes over entitlements and to ensure that employees can take their well-deserved breaks.
