| accumulation period (PY-CN) |
The number of months in which the system adds together the number of days' sick leave that an employee takes.
When an employee is sick, the system checks whether an employee is entitled to take sick leave by comparing the amount of sick leave (expressed in terms of months) that an employee has taken in the accumulation period with the amount of sick leave (expressed in terms of months) to which an employee is entitled in that period.
