Dear @suminair,
Thank you very much for your question .
On the moment, it is not possible to assign an accrual policy on a custom date. As you already mentioned, accruals can only be granted since the hire date or the beginning of the year. A suggestion for improvement has already been posted by another user on our ideation area:
As you can see, our product team is planning to release this functionality 🥳. Make sure to vote for the idea in order to be informed whenever it is released!
Until the functionality is available, you can grant the accrual policy for the next period and undertake a manual adjustment of the employees’ entitlement for this year. You can find details on how to undertake a manual adjustment in the following help center article:
→ Adjust Absence Balances
Please let me know if this information was helpful for you, or if there is any other question I can clarify for you.
I wish you an amazing afternoon!
Best,
Andrea
