Migrate Shared Parental Leave

You can migrate historical absences for information only, or for the purpose of calculating occupational schemes.

For ongoing Shared Parental Leave (ShPL), you must create both the leave agreement and the period of leave already taken. If you convert the entitlement from an existing maternity or adoption leave, you must also migrate the original maternity, or adoption leave.

You need to set up the absence type, plan, and elements. You also need to define the agreement templates with an effective date earlier than the date of the first absence that you need migrated.

Leave Agreements

You need to migrate only ongoing ShPL agreements to Fusion. You must create these manually as the HDL does not currently support Leave Agreements.

Unless relevant balances have been initialized, LEL check will fail, but it can be overridden manually.

Shared Parental Leave Absences

Additional data entry is available on the Agreement:

Field Name	Description
Agreement Average Weekly Earnings	Override to provide the value for average weekly earnings for maternity, adoption, and ShPL. This override: Checks the employee’s entitlement to statutory payment Determines the rate of pay

You need to provide this information on all the ShPL agreements because payroll uses it to determine the payment rate.

Whether you create absences manually or upload them using the HDL, the relevant calculation card is created automatically. If the absence starts before the Absence Processing Start Date, payroll ignores the portion of absence that falls before that date.
