This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Maternity Leave page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.
Field or Control |
Description |
|---|---|
Expected Birth Date |
Enter the expected birth date as it appears on the MATB1 form or other official notification. When you exit this field, the system completes the Expected Week of Child Birth (EWC) field, the Earliest Start of MPP (earliest start of maternity pay period) field, and the Qualifying Week field. The system also calculates whether the person is eligible for maternity pay based on employment conditions. |
Form MATB1 Received |
Enter the date that you receive medical evidence of the pregnancy. Note: The MATB1 form is unacceptable if dated more than 20 weeks before the start of the expected week of child birth (EWC). |
Date Notified of Actual Start |
Enter the date that the person notified you of her intended leave start date. |
Eligible for Maternity Pay
Field or Control |
Description |
|---|---|
Based on Employment Conditions |
By default, this check box is selected if the person is eligible for maternity pay based on her employment history. The system reviews the person's record for length of service and compares it to the qualifying data on the Absence Parameters page to determine whether she is eligible for maternity pay. Note: If the employee is under 16 years of age or over 65 years of age, the Based on Employment Condition check box is selected. This check box is later used when processing SMP through the Global Payroll for the U.K. rules, and contribute to determining the SMP and SSP employee eligibility. |
Based on National Insurance (NI) Calculation |
This check box appears only if you have PeopleSoft Global Payroll UK installed. A payroll process reviews the person's average earnings and uses the expected week of child birth date to calculate whether the person is eligible for maternity pay based on NI contributions. If the person is eligible, the check box is selected by default. Remember that the process is run only at scheduled times, so you don't know whether the person is eligible for maternity pay until you run the process. |

Enter the last day that the person expects to work before the start of leave. Note: The actual start date of the MPP must be after the expected week of child birth. |

Displays the expected end of the maternity pay period. The system automatically calculates the date when the maternity payments cease based on the earliest start of MPP date. |
Qualifying Week |
The system populates this field; it is display-only. The qualifying week is 15 weeks before the expected week of child birth. The system uses this date to determine if the person is eligible for maternity pay. |
SMP Actual Start Date (statutory maternity pay actual start date) |
This field appears only if you have Global Payroll for the UK installed. The statutory maternity pay actual start date is the first date that the person is entitled to SMP. The system calculates this date based on the maternity pay period actual start date; this field is display-only. |
