Fixed Amount Each Period โ€“ A set number of hours the employee will accrue each pay period, based on their annual entitlement (Hours Accrued Annually).

If you choose "Fixed amount each period" and if the employee's work hours are changed inside the pay run the leaves accrual rate will not be affected. The leaves will be accrued based on the number of hours added under "Hours Accrued Annually"
