Paternity 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.
