Create Parental Bereavement Leave Absence Types

The bereavement absence type enables you to enter and store information associated with an absence occurrence.

Perform the following steps to create parental bereavement absence types:

1. In the My Client Groups work area, select Absences > Absence Definitions > Absence Types.
2. In the Absence Types page, click Create.
3. In the Create Absence Type window enter the effective date, the Legislation as 'United Kingdom' and 'Generic absence' as the Pattern.
4. Click Continue.
5. In the Type Attributes tab, enter the required details for the absence type such as the name, Legislative Data Group, and others. Enter the other field values as shown below:

   FIELD	VALUE
   UOM	Calendar Days
   Legislative Grouping Code	UK Parental Bereavement Leave
   Status	Active

6. Click the Plans and Reasons tab.
7. Click Select and Add to attach the plan you created in the previous steps to the absence type.
   Note: Occupational plans can be added to the same absence type. Ensure that the priority number of the occupational plans is higher than that of the statutory plan. This ensures that the entitlement in the statutory plan is always calculated, irrespective of whether employees are eligible for Occupational plans or not.
8. In the Select and Add Plan to Type window, select the relevant absence plan, the Status and the Priority.
9. Click OK.
10. In the Display Features tab, and ensure that the appropriate features are enabled, as shown below:

    FIELD	VALUE
    Payable after termination	Enabled Note: Enable this feature to pay the absence after the employee has been terminated.

11. Click the Action Items tab, and click Select and Add to add the certifications for the Statutory Bereavement Pay scheme.
12. In the Absence Certifications window, select the names of the relevant certifications for the Statutory Parental Bereavement Leave scheme from the list, and their corresponding status. The relevant options are:
    • Leave Block Less Than 7 Days
    • Maximum Weeks Paid
    • Employed Less Than 26 Weeks
    • Incorrect Notice
    • LEL Not Reached
    • Not Payable After 56th week
    • Employee Not Absent from all Assignments
    • Payroll Changed During the Relevant Period
    • Insufficient information to perform LEL check
