How are earned benefits calculated in BQE CORE HR? It seems the accrued vacation time does not tally with the actual.
In CORE HR, the benefits earned by employees, say vacation days, are calculated based on completed service periods and the benefit-earning rules defined in the employee’s benefit policy. With the default As Earned earning method, benefits accrue at the end of each completed year, not at the beginning.
Below is an example using 1st January, 2026 as the start date:
• 1st Jan, 2026: 0 days (as 1 year hasn’t been completed)
• 1st Jan, 2027: 1 day (earned at the end of 2026)
Now the employee earns 2 Days/Year for the next two years, i.e., 2028 and 2029.
• 1st Jan, 2028: 1 + 2 = 3 days (1st Jan, 2026 – 1st Jan, 2027 = 2 years completed)
• 1st Jan, 2029: 1 + 2 + 2 = 5 days
Next employee earns 3 Days/Year for the next three years, i.e., 2030, 2031, and 2032.
• 1st Jan, 2030: 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 = 8 days
• 1st Jan, 2031: 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 = 11 days
• 1st Jan, 2032: 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 14 days
Next employee earns 4 Days/Year for the next four years, i.e., 2033, 2034, 2035, and 2036.
• 1st Jan, 2033: 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 4 = 18 days
• 1st Jan, 2034: 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 4 = 22 days
• 1st Jan, 2035: 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 26 days
• 1st Jan, 2036: 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 30 days
This can be continued for future years in the same way as explained above.
Another example is when the benefits are earned and calculated in one-year increments (as seen below). The calculations will follow the same logic.
• 1st Jan, 2026: 0 days (as 1 year hasn’t been completed)
• 1st Jan, 2027: 1 day
Now the employee earns 2 Days/Year for the next one year, i.e., 2028.
• 1st Jan, 2028: 1 + 2 = 3 days (1st Jan, 2027 – 1st Jan, 2028 = 2 years completed)
Next employee earns 3 Days/Year for the next one year, i.e., 2029.
• 1st Jan, 2029: 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 days
This can be continued for future years in the same way as explained above.
