Formula Lag
Rate Multiply
Hours times rate per row; raises and terminations since the last export are missed.

SG&A Spike
Catch-Up Accrual
The difference to the last booked liability posts as one lump entry.
Root Operational Bottleneck
Unused leave balances are exported from the HRIS once a quarter and multiplied by pay rates in a liability sheet, so the accrual only moves when someone remembers to refresh it.
Control Hazard & Audit Exposure
Between refreshes the PTO liability is understated; departures and rate changes land as catch-up accruals that spike SG&A in the period they are noticed rather than the period they were earned.
Accrued hours, usage, and compensation changes arrive from the HRIS API daily.

Continuous Accrual
Per-Employee Valuation
Each balance valued at the current rate with jurisdiction rules applied automatically.

Deterministic Software Pattern
HRIS leave and compensation feed driving a daily liability accrual that values each employee's balance at the current rate and posts the movement to the ledger.
Continuous Assertion Rule
Liability assertion: the accrued PTO balance must equal the sum of every active employee's unused hours multiplied by their current rate as of the posting date, recomputed daily.
