When exempt, non-exempt or Bargaining Unit employees terminate their employment mid-month, Stanford payroll administrators must calculate vacation accrual to include that amount in the employee’s termination check.
Calculate Vacation Accrual
Before You Start
Gather employee information and review the Administrative Guide Policy 2.1.6: Vacations to determine the employee's accrual rate.
- Employee years of service
- Employee FTE (i.e., Full-time 100%, Part-time 50% or 75%)
- Employee pay group from PeopleSoft
- Refer to Administrative Guide Policy 2.1.6: Vacations
- Identify the appropriate years of service and accrual rate for the employee’s pay group
The accrual rates for Bargaining Unit (BU) employees match those of Non-Exempt Staff.
- Refer to the Vacation Accrual Calculator
- Enter the employee's STF Service Date where indicated (J3)
- The accrual rate appropriate for their years of service will populate in the Rate column
- Enter the number of days the employee worked in the Paid Work Days column
- This includes any paid time off taken, such as vacation, PTO, sick or holiday
- Do not include any days the employee was on leave without pay or on approved short-term disability/family leave
- Enter partial days as decimals or fractions (0.5 or 1/2 days).
- The Accruals column shows the accruals for the month
Use this calculator for partial month calculations by entering only the days for which you wish to calculate the accruals.
