You sure about it being ALV? I would've put money on having to credit over 80, not ALV.
Don't have time right now, but a lot of this is laid out in the scheduling reference handbook. Open the PDF and search for "bank."
Side note: I'd like to see us be able to add to the bank at a much lower threshold. There are months where I'd be willing to accept less pay in-month in order to fill my bank for later...crediting over 80 in any significant amount will wear you out. It's difficult to fill the bank up very quickly.
