Most chess websites including FIDE do not do this at all. What they do is if you are inactive for a long period of time your rating goes +/- to a much higher degree to place you at your current skill level faster depending on the length of time you have played. However your current rating is not adjusted in any way whatsoever, meaning that tournament results and placings are completely unaffected unless you go on some significant loss streak.

There is no way to do this in FFR as obviously you are competing against yourself, not against other players.
