UserAccrualsAccrualsStartDate Property

The users StartDate and AccrualsStartDate are similar, however each retain different uses in the system. The StartDate is used to track the actual day an employee begins employment with a given company. If an employee becomes inactively employed with the company and returns sometime later; then the StartDate should reset to the date the employee establishes employment again. On the other hand the AccrualsStartDate is much more flexible with how it can be set.

A manager can either set the AccrualsStartDate to sync with an employee's StartDate or they can set it to any date they see fit and use the "Additional Months Service" setting to control additional "Length of Service" time-spans.
