Calculating Other Leave

Paternity leave entitlement PAT LVE ENT enables a maximum entitlement of 7 days. The entitlement is accrues per absence. The 7 days is controlled by a variable PAT VR MAX DAYS which you can modify, depending on individual company policy. If the leave extends more than the days specified in the variable, the additional days are reduced from their annual leave before becoming unpaid leave.

Employees are granted paternity entitlement provided they have completed their probation period. The probation period used to calculate paternity leave is 90 days and upon completion, employees can apply for paternity leave. The process does not stop you from entering paternity leave multiple times in the same year. Employees are granted the maximum entitlement every time the leave (take) is entered. It is up to the payroll officer to verify the proper documentation before granting paternity leave to the employee.

The absence day formula LVE FM TAKE UNIT evaluates each day of the absence event.

The newly wed leave entitlement NWD LVE ENT enables leave up to a maximum of 5 days. This entitlement calculates leave on a per absence basis and days beyond the 5th day are calculated as unpaid leave. The 5 days is controlled by a variable NWD VR MAX DAYS which holds the maximum leave takes allowed in an anniversary year for newly wed employees. You can modify the value to suit your company requirements. Employees can take Newly Wed leave provided they have completed their eligibility period.

Conditional resolution formula NWD FM RESOLV ENT (Newly Wed Resolution Formula) validates to see if the employee can claim newly wed leave. The condition checks to see if the employee is claiming more than the company stated rules.

Generally, Newly Wed leave would be granted only once in an employee's life time. The delivered rule does not perform that check and the entitlement is granted every time the leave (take) is entered. It is up to the payroll officer to manually verify that the leave (take) is not entered without proper validation.

The takes absence day formula LVE FM TAKE UNIT evaluates each day of the absence event.

The required entitlement units (either 1 or 1/2) of each absence date are returned and compared with the beginning entitlement balance to calculate the paid and unpaid units. If PARTIAL HOURS is greater than half of SCHED HRS, it is treated as a one-day leave of absence. When leave exceeds total entitlement, it will come off the annual leave balance. When the annual leave balance is exhausted, the remaining days are treated as unpaid leave (resulting in a Leave Without Pay deduction being generated in payroll).

All Special Leave (types) are paid leave. It is at the discretion of the employer how they want to process them.

Special leave entitlement covers a range of leave types. For example it can cover the following:

• Moving house.

• Arranging accommodation.

• Family problems.

• Religious obligations.

• Illness within the employee's family.

The Special Leave entitlement SPL LVE ENT is calculated on a per absence basis—as and when it occurs. It is always calculated as paid leave. There is no entitlement calculated. The calculation uses entitlement formula OLV FM ENT (Other Leave Entitlement) which resolves to 1 for a valid working day. It is used for resolving entitlement for special leave entitlements which are calculated per absence.

Conditional resolution formula OTH FM LVE ENT (Resolve Other Lve Entl ) resolves to 1 for a valid working day. It is used for resolving entitlement for special leave entitlements which are calculated per absence.
