Selecting Adjustments/Overrides Allowed on the accrual enables administrators to modify the worker's calculated accrual result. They can then use Maintain Accrual and Time Off Adjustments/Overrides for individual workers or Put Absence Input for mass accrual adjustments and overrides.
An accrual adjustment adds to or subtracts from the calculated accrual for a processing period. An accrual override replaces the calculated accrual result for one or multiple periods. Workday applies an override before applying an adjustment, and plan limits or accrual-processing timing can still reduce the final value.
Selecting Overrides Allowed on the time off plan enables plan-balance and carryover overrides; it does not authorize component-level accrual changes. A front-loaded scheduling calculation determines when the accrual processes and does not permit manual modification. An absence input calculation may be referenced when designing specialized eligibility or calculation logic, but it does not replace the required permission setting on the accrual.
Because the plan is front-loaded, the worker must remain eligible for the accrual when the administrator enters the applicable adjustment or override.
