Non-monetary variables such as the annual vacation entitlement are also aliquoted when joining or leaving a company during the year . Naturally, the concept of aliquoting plays a significant role in software systems that support payroll accounting . Various aliquoting procedures are functionally mapped in these. In addition, the concept of aliquoting plays a major role in law (labor law, pension legislation, etc.), where appropriate framework conditions for the proportional determination of employee claims are regulated.
