Create Paternity Absence Plans

An absence plan needs to be created to determine and calculate a person’s entitlement to Paternity leaves and pay.

You must create two plans for paternity absences to determine an employee’s entitlement to SPP; this enables the absence to be recorded and evaluated for payment:

• Paternity Pay - Birth
• Paternity Pay - Adoption

Perform the following steps to create the paternity absence plans:
