What is the annual leave accrual rate per pay period for full-time employees?

• A. Two hours
• B. Four hours
• C. Six hours
• D. Eight hours

Answer: (B)

Leave accrual is earned at a fixed rate with each pay period. For full-time staff, four hours of annual leave per pay period is a common pattern. With biweekly pay, that amounts to 26 periods a year, so 4 hours × 26 = 104 hours of annual leave per year. That yields about 13 days of leave annually if you count an 8-hour day. The other options would produce much less or much more than a typical annual entitlement: two hours per period would total 52 hours per year, six hours would total 156, and eight hours would total 208. So four hours per pay period best fits the standard full-time accrual rate.
