Overview of Shared Parental Leave and Pay
Employees are eligible for shared parental pay and leave based on certain criteria.
An employee can curtail their maternity or adoption leave in favor of sharing it with their partner. The shared parental leave can be paid or unpaid. The amount of leaves that can be taken as paid or unpaid will depend on how much leave the person curtailing the maternity or adoption leave has remaining.
Apart from using an absence plan and absence type, this functionality also uses the Leave Agreements. You must create the absence agreement templates to cater for different cases of shared parental leave. The details about leave agreement functionality and how to create a template are described in the Leave Agreements section.
- UK Shared Parental Agreement Eligibility (ORA_HRX_GB_SHPL_AGREEMENT_ELIGIBILITY): This formula must be attached to all Shared Parental Leave templates. It checks that the employee satisfies the eligibility conditions for ShPL entitlements, that is, they have the required length of service.
- UK Shared Parental Agreement Validation (ORA_HRX_GB_SHPL_AGREEMENT_VALIDATION): This formula must be attached to all templates to ensure that the maximum entitlement does not exceed.
