The formula

Each derived value below is computed by the Valem engine from the expression shown, in this order. Nothing else runs — there is no hidden code path.

Derived valueFieldFormula (JSONata)
Band Days CorridosbandDaysCorridos($s := $n(serviceYears); $s <= $const.bandYears5 ? $const.bandDaysTo5Years : ($s <= $const.bandYears10 ? $const.bandDaysTo10Years : ($s <= $const.bandYears20 ? $const.bandDaysTo20Years : $const.bandDaysOver20Years)))

Rates and thresholds

The expressions above read these as $const. They are the figures the annual refresh replaces, so they live as data rather than being written into the formulas — which is what makes a year-on-year change a one-line diff instead of an edit to arithmetic.

Test vectors (13)

Every case is executed against this model on each build, by the Java engine and independently by a JavaScript one. A mismatch of a single cent fails the build, so the page cannot ship advertising a figure the model no longer produces.

Case 1 — N1 band a is 14 días corridos, which is about ten working days on a five-day week

given serviceYears3
given daysPerWeek5
given diasHabilesWorked250
given diasHabilesInYear250
given daysTaken0
expect bandDaysCorridos14
expect daysCorridosEntitled14

Case 2 — N2 five years is still band a, because the article says 'no exceda de cinco'

given serviceYears5
given daysPerWeek5
given diasHabilesWorked250
given diasHabilesInYear250
given daysTaken0
expect bandDaysCorridos14

Case 3 — N3 just over five years reaches 21 corridos, about 15 working days

Case 4 — N4 ten years is still band b

Case 8 — N8 below art. 151's half-year gate, art. 153 gives one day per twenty worked

Case 9 — N9 at exactly half the días hábiles the band applies again

Case 10 — N10 under twenty worked days art. 153 gives nothing

Case 11 — N11 a six-day week gets more working days out of the same 14 corridos
