Newly Wed (Married) Leave

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).

Note:

This type of leave is not governed by the employment act. The practice is to grant paid newly wed leave from 3 to 5 days.
