Hello,
I’m encountering a problem while changing the number of vacation days granted. My case:
Problem is: For the employees who started in 2022 but with probation ending in 2023, the start of the current period = hire date and not beginning of the year.
How can I solve this?
Thank you :)
Hi
The Start of the current period option is determined by the settings of your accrual policy. 
I assume that you are using the granting method Yearly for your accrual policies. If you choose Jan 1st every year under the section Accrual year start, then the Start of the current period will always refer to January 1st of the current year.
However, if you choose Employee’s work anniversary, then the start of any period will refer to the employee’s hire date or hire date anniversary (whichever is applicable). In the case of your employees who started in 2022 and whose probations periods have not yet ended, if you select Start of the current period then the system will refer to their hire date as the start of the current period.
However, be careful.
If you have already assigned them an accrual policy as of hire date, and the Accrual year start for that policy is January 1st, then the system will still assign the new updated policy as of 01.01.23, regardless this policy’s settings.
My suggestion: create a new absence type, and any accrual policy that you create under this absence type will have Employee’s work anniversary as the selected option for the Accrual year start. That way, any new policy assigned, for any entitlement period, will be based on the employee’s hire date (anniversary). You can always make a manual adjustment in the vacation time balance of the former absence type to reflect this change.
You can check out this article from our Helpcentre for more information on accrual policy options.
Please do let me know if you have any further questions!
