Understanding Methods of Counting Service PeriodsThis chapter provides overviews of methods of counting service periods and how pages are documented and discusses how to:
Set up elapsed time service.
Set up hours counting service.
Credit service based on hours worked.
Set up hours equivalence service.
Understanding Methods of Counting Service PeriodsThere are two types of methods for counting service periods. The two hours methods, hours counting and hours equivalence, are based on the hours an employee works during a computation period. These methods require parameters for converting hours to service units. The elapsed time method is based on the time an employee works within a date range.
There are three methods of counting service periods:
Elapsed time—Calculates an employee's service by measuring the time between two dates—for example, between the hire date and the termination date. The amount of service credited does not depend on the hours the employee works during the time period.
Hours counting—Uses the actual number of hours an employee works in a computation period. Requires hours data provided by the hours consolidation process.
Hours equivalence—Credits an employee with a specific number of hours, based on the time spent in a “service included” status.
There is a component for each method.

Understanding How Pages Are Documented
In this chapter, the pages for each method are documented under their respective components—for example, the pages for the elapsed time method are documented under “Pages Used to Set Up Elapsed Time.” However, several pages are the same in more than one component—for example, the Service Status page is used in all three components. Where pages are common to multiple components, the pages appear in the “Pages Used” sections for each component. However, this chapter documents the details of the page usage only once; here it clarifies any differences in the way that you use the pages for different methods.
Note. A page may contain different fields or field values, depending on the options you select. For example, the lookup buttons appear on the Min/Max Hrs page only if you select Min or Max in the Limit field. If you select None, these buttons do not appear.
Setting Up Elapsed Time ServiceTo set up elapsed time, use the Service-Elapsed Time (SERVICE_ELAPSED) component.
This section lists the pages used to set up elapsed time and discusses how to:
Define the elapsed time service counting method.
Set up elapsed time hours requirements.

Add period rules.
Set up future status code adjustments.
View the effects of different adjustments.

Defining the Elapsed Time Service Counting MethodTo use the elapsed time method, you need to set up basic information about your definition. This includes a service period to be used in the elapsed time computation, any periods to exclude from service, and whether contributions are required.
Access the Service Definition page.
Service
|
Service Type |
When you access this page through the Service - Elapsed Time component, the type is always E (elapsed time). |
|
Copy |
This is a shortcut you can use to copy a similar definition. Establish the first definition, click the Copy button, enter a new name and description, and the system clones the original definition using the new name. You can then make whatever minor adjustments you need to the new definition. If you have to make major adjustments, consider creating the new definition from scratch instead of copying an existing definition. |
Computation Period
|
Period |
An elapsed time service definition specifies how to measure the duration between two dates, typically the hire date and the event date. When Pension Administration calculates elapsed time, however, this time is broken into computation periods. Total elapsed time is then the sum of the service credit for each period. Select one of the following period types:
|
First period is anniversary period
Note. Under this option, the employee receives double service credit for the period of time that falls in both the first and second periods.
Exclude Service Prior to and Exclude Service After
|
Date |
If you want to exclude service before or after a particular time, such as the participation date, enter a constant date or alias in the Exclude Service Prior to and Exclude Service After group boxes. |
Contributions
|
Required for Service |
Select this check box if employees must contribute to the plan in order to receive service credit. |
|
Contribution Name |
Enter the name of the employee accounts function result that keeps track of employee contributions. The employee accounts function creates a period-by-period history. If an employee makes contributions at any time during a period, the service function grants the employee service for that period. Note. PeopleSoft recommends using an employee accounts period identical to or shorter than the service computation period in order to more accurately align employee contributions to service periods. |
Setting Up Elapsed Time Hours RequirementsElapsed time hours, also called thresholds, are the hours that employees must work before getting service credit for a computation period. For example, if your computation period is a calendar year, you can require employees to have at least 500 hours of service within a year before getting service credit.
Access the Hours Requirement page.
Service Requirement
|
Hours/Time - Hours Dependent and Not Dependent |
Select Hours/Time - Hours Dependent if the service requirement is dependent or Not Dependent if it is not dependent. If you select Not Dependent, you can make no further entries on this page. |
|

This directs the system to the appropriate hours history for determining whether an employee meets the threshold requirements. |
|
Projection Method |
This provides instructions for projecting hours, if necessary. |
Hours Threshold
|
Award Service Only If |
Enter the number of hours that an employee must work before getting service credit. |
Setting Up Service StatusesAn employee's HR status determines whether or not the employee accrues service. Status changes are reflected in the employee’s action and reason history in the PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources job records: hires, leaves, returns from leave, terminations, and any other action and reason codes you choose.
Sometimes you need to adjust the effective date of a status change. For example, if your plan gives service credit for the first 30 days of a leave, you need to indicate that the effective date of the leave must be adjusted by 30 days before service accrual ends. Further, you can indicate that this adjustment only occurs if the employee returns to work within a year.
Adjusting Action and Reason Effective Dates
Because you can make multiple adjustments to the effective date of a status change, you need to indicate the order in which adjustments are made. For example, you can indicate whether to round a date before or after adding time.
Access the Service Statuses page.
HR Status Adjustment Order
|
Future Status, Date Round, and Add Time to Date |
To indicate the order in which the system should apply the adjustments, enter 1, 2, and 3 next to the three adjustment types. You use subsequent pages to add time to the effective date or to set up adjustments, based on future status codes; you enter the rounding method on this page. Add Time to Date has no effect for hours counting service. Note. If an adjustment causes a date to overlap with the date of another status code, then calculations fail. |
Service Categories
|
Include |
Select this option if actions in the category start an include service segment. If the actions in the category start an exclude service segment, leave that option clear. Actions not specifically included in any of the categories on this page do not affect service status. Warning! Be sure to include both events that start and stop service. For example, if you stop service for a leave, be sure to start service for a return from leave. |
|
Category Type |
Set one of the following category types: H (Hire Category), T (Termination Category), or O (Other). The system uses this information when you set up adjustments that add time to a period. You specify whether the adjustments apply to hire periods, termination periods, or all periods. |
|
Category Name |
In the scrolling region of this page, select each HR action and reason category name that the service definition needs to look for. This includes reasons for starting include service segments and for starting exclude service segments. |
|
Date Round Option |
If you round the effective dates within a category of action and reason events, enter the rounding method next to the category. For example, you might round all hire and rehire dates to the first of the month. |

Adding Period RulesSometimes you may want to delay the effective date of an action and reason event. For example, if your employee can continue to accrue service for the first month of a leave, you need to adjust the effective date of any leave action by adding a month. Use the Service - Elapsed Time - Add Periods Rules page to add time periods to action and reason effective dates.
Access the Add Period Rules page.
Service Category

Indicate which instances of a new status receive the adjustment by selecting one of the following: N (No Records Impacted), A (All), F (First Only), L (Last Only), X (All But First), Y (All But Last), or Z (All But First and Last). When you add time to an action and reason effective date, you give additional service or break-in-service time by delaying the impact of the change. You may not want to do this for each occurrence of an event. For example, you could grant the 30-day leave of absence adjustment only for the first leave and not adjust any subsequent leaves. If you selectNo Records Impacted, you can make no further entries on this page. |

Setting Up Future Status Code AdjustmentsThe way you treat service for a particular HR status may depend on an employee’s subsequent status. For example, employees on leave might accrue service only if they later return to work. You can choose to adjust a current event, based on a future event—or you can adjust a future event, based on a second future event.
Access the Future Status Code Adjust page.

Setting Up Minimum and Maximum Service RulesThe service function breaks computation periods into segments, based on HR status changes. For example, within a single year-long computation period, an employee might have a ten-month segment of active employment and a two-month segment of leave.
Some HR statuses might have associated minimum or maximum service accruals. For example, employees may be limited to a maximum of one year of service accrual while on leave. You need to set these limits.
Access the Min/Max Service Rules page.

Setting Up Hours Counting Service StatusesHours counting service depends on the hours consolidation. Unless there is a minimum or maximum number of hours (real or projected) specified for a particular status, the service calculation uses whatever hours are provided. For example, if the consolidated hours includes hours from an employee’s leave of absence, then those hours are considered for service; the service function does not categorize those hours and cannot, therefore, exclude them.
This means that service statuses work very differently for hours counting than for elapsed time and hours equivalence. The latter two methods use statuses as the basis for granting or not granting service credit; hours counting uses actual hours, rather than statuses, for this purpose.
Note. To avoid crediting service for particular employee statuses, you must define your hours consolidation to exclude those hours.
Understanding Service Statuses and Hours Counting Service
In an hours counting definition, you identify service statuses for the following purposes:
Applying status-based minimum or maximum hours limits.
Identifying hire and termination periods if you use different hours-to-service conversion methods for those periods.
Establishing a link between the service definition and the employee.
These correspond to the following types of action and reason categories that you need to put into your service definition:
Action and reason categories that start and stop limited periods.
For example, if certain leaves of absence have a maximum of 500 hours, you must identify action and reason codes for both those leaves types and for returns from leave.
Categories of hire and termination actions.
Categories covering any action and reason that could appear as the first action in an employee’s job record. Normally a hire and rehire category covers this, but if your practices include using other actions for an employee’s initial job record, be sure those actions are incorporated into one of the service categories. Without this information, the system cannot match employees to definitions.
Because you do not need to make elaborate adjustments to an employee’s job history in order to apply service rules, you don’t necessarily need the same amount of service status detail as you would for an elapsed time service definition. However, it’s a good practice to enter included and excluded service statuses that match the way your consolidation handles hours from those statuses. For example, if you generate hours for certain kinds of leaves, those leaves would be service included statuses.
See Also
Setting Up Hours Equivalence Service Statuses Hours equivalence definitions assign a specific number of hours per time period worked. For example, if the equivalence rate is 45 hours per week, an employee who is in service status for an entire year receives credit for 53 weeks (52 whole weeks and one partial week), or 2,385 hours.
The system uses an employee’s service status to determine whether or not to credit hours. It uses the action and reason codes in the employee's job record to determine the employee's service status.
See Also
Setting Up Hours Counting Minimum and Maximum Service RulesSegments can have a minimum or maximum hours accrual based on the employee status. For example, an employee on leave could be limited to a 1000-hour maximum. Use the Min/Max Hrs page to indicate the hours limitations associated with specific categories of HR action and reason codes.
Access the Min/Max Hrs page.
Service - Min Max Hours
|
Limit |
To set an upper or lower limit on hours following a particular action until the next action from any of the other categories, select one of the following:
When there is a limit, enter the number of hours in the text box next to the Max field. |
|
Limitation Periods |
Limits always apply to either the computation period or the status period. If you select C (Computation Period), you can limit employees to 1000 hours per year while on leave. If you select S (Status Period), you can limit employees to 1000 hours for the total duration of the leave. If you select Computation Period, the limit applies only to the portion of the computation period when the employee is on leave. For example, for 2000 Miguel had 1250 total hours, but he was on leave for part of the year. The system first prorates the hours to allocate 250 hours to the period when Miguel was on leave. The limit of 1000 hours per computation period applies only to this 250 hours. In this case, therefore, the limit doesn’t change the total hours for the period. |
|
Allocation Period |
Miguel’s 1250 total leave hours fall into two computation periods. You have to reduce the total leave hours to 1000 using one of two Allocation Period options: C (Cut Off at Limit) or D (Spread Across Days). If you select Cut Off at Limit, the first 1000 hours are used, any additional hours are reduced to zero. In this case, the 250 hours in 1980 remain at 250 hours, the 1000 hours that fall in 1981 are reduced to 750. If you select Spread Across Days, the 1000 hours are evenly distributed across the days of leave. For example 250 days, for an average of four hours per day. If the first portion of the leave has 60 days, then it has 240 hours; the second portion of the leave, with the remaining 190 days, has 760 hours. |
Allocating Hours to Computation Periods
If your limitation period is the status period, the system still prorates hours within a computation period to determine how many hours fall into the specified status. If the hours violate the limit, you have to allocate the limited hours between two periods. For example, Miguel’s leave of absence extends into 2001, as shown in the following diagram:
Status period extends across computation periods
Miguel’s 1250 total leave hours fall into two computation periods. You have to reduce the total leave hours to 1000 using one of two Allocation Period options.
If you select Cut Off at Limit, then the first 1000 hours are used and any additional hours are reduced to zero. In this case, the 250 hours in 2000 remain at 250 hours, the 1000 hours that fall in 2001 are reduced to 750.
If you select Spread Across Days, the 1000 hours are evenly distributed across the days of leave—for example, 250 days—for an average of four hours per day. If the first portion of the leave has 60 days, then it has 240 hours; the second portion of the leave, with the remaining 190 days, has 760 hours.
For minimums, Cut Off at Limit adds any additional hours to the first segment. Spread Across Days increases the hours proportionally.
Converting Hours to ServiceWhen you use an hours-based service definition, you need rules for converting the hours to service.
Access the Hrs to Svc Conv. page.
Period and Conversion Rule
|
Service Period |
You can use different conversion rules for the hire period and termination periods from those you use for a standard computation period. For example, you may use a ratio rule for hire and termination periods, but a zero or one rule for other periods. Select the Service Period for the rules you are establishing: A (All Periods), H (Hire Period), T (Termination Period). The Service function identifies hire and termination periods by the categories you established on the Service - Hours Counting - Service Statuses page. Note. Be sure to set up a rule for all periods. You can choose whether or not to set up additional rules for hire and termination periods. |
|
Hours Conversion Rule |
For each type of computation period, select an Hours Conversion Rule to establish the basis for your hours-to-service conversion:
|
Ratio Rule
|
Hours Divisor |
Enter the denominator. |
|
Decimal Places |
Indicate the number of decimal places for the division. |
|
Min Hours for Accrual |
Employees accrue of maximum of one service unit, even if the numerator is greater than the denominator. To set a threshold number of hours, enter the minimum hours for accrual. Employees with fewer hours receive no service credit. For example, if you enter 500, employees with less than 500 hours receive no service credit. |
|
Hours for One Service Unit |
Set the number of hours for one service unit. Employees with the specified number of hours or more automatically receive one service unit; additional hours do not add service. |

Note. If two service definitions use an identical service schedule, you may still want to create separate copies of the schedule to isolate components.
|
Hours and Service |
Each row consists of a number of hours and the associated service credit. The system always interpolates by using the next higher value. In the example pictured, an employee with 500 hours receives no service credit, and an employee with 501 hours receives .25 credits. Note. Always set up service schedules with a zero service row. |
