2341096 - Accrual Posting When Terminated And Then Rehired Within The Same Accrual Period

Symptom

When accruing time during a particular period [e.g. yearly then it would run from 01.01.2020 to 31.21.2020]: someone gets terminated first e.g 01.02.2020 and then gets rehired later in the same period e.g. 01.06.2020 - in this scenario which accrual rule gets triggered for the rehire event?

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central - Time Off

Resolution

  • If the employee was first terminated and then rehired within the same accrual period (e.g. within 2020), the system take no action in regards to accrual and will raise an error message: "The user is being terminated and rehired in the accrual period. This scenario is not supported. Please create an accrual manually."
  • This can now be handled using 'Termination End Handling' feature. It is possible to automatically clean up an employee's Time Off related data that exists after the termination date.
    • If the employment of an employee is terminated and the employee is rehired in the same accrual period, the termination end handling process ensures that the employee receives the correct amount of leave accruals upon rehire.
    • Please refer the Implementation Guide: Termination End Handling Process in Time Off 
 

Possible Workarounds without using Termination End Handling feature

  1. Use manual adjustments to post the accruals.
  2. Close the old time accounts related to the terminated user. You can do so using an interim update rule to set the account to closed, and then run the interim calendar. Please refer to the Implementation Guide: Interim Time Account Updates & Interim Account Update Rules.
  3. Then the terminated account will not be considered and you will not encounter this error.
  4. You would need to run the interim calendar on a regular basis, to pick up all terminations throughout the year.
