Note: For Hong Kong, the unit for absence entitlement, take, and accrual is day. While half-day absence is allowed, a quarter day or the hours of absence are generally not accepted. All absence types except maternity leave can take half-day leave. The service date is used as the default base for the absence accrual process. The anniversary date for absence and termination is derived from the service date.

Note: Female payees are eligible for statutory maternity leave. If your organization or location, however, has a policy to provide leave benefits for male employees whose wives have just given birth, it is possible to provide them with maternity leave benefits as the system does not check the payee's gender.
