Assign a policy name, and choose from several leave accrual methods. If you choose Per Hours Worked, set the number of hours accrued for a set number of work hours. For the other three methods - Each Pay Period, On Beginning of Year, or On Anniversary, set the total numbers of hours accrued for the selected length of time.

In the remaining fields, set whether employees need to complete a waiting period before accumulating sick leave hours, and if so, how long the waiting period is. You can also set whether employees can carry over hours and whether there is a carryover limit, as well as set a limit on total sick hours accumulated.
