Paternity Benefit Payment or Offset

Payroll attributes provided for the user to setup paternity absences for the calculation of benefit payments or offsets. 

Payroll attributes are now provided for the user to set up paternity absences for the calculation of benefit payments and offsets.

Steps to Enable and Configure

Create paternity elements, formula result rules for entitlement results, balance feeds, validation formulas based on delivered formulas, entitlement formula, certificates, absence plan and absence type.

Steps to Enable:
1.    Create an absence element for the occupational plan:

  • Primary Classification: Absences
  • Secondary Classification: Maternity, Paternity, Parental, Parents or Adoption

2.    Create benefit offset element (if required):

  • Primary Classification: Information
  • Input Values: Pay Value, Process Date

3.    Create benefit payment element (if required):

  • Primary Classification: Direct Payment

4.    Create a balance feed benefit offset element for the balance Paternity Benefit Offset.

5.    Create a balance feed benefit payment element for the balance Paternity Benefit Payment.

6.    Create formula result rules for the <Absence Element> Entitlement Result.

  • L_PATERNITY_BENEFIT_PAYMENT
  • L_PROCESS_DATE

7.    Create calculation factor for the element <Absence Element> Entitlement Result for the value definition Paternity Benefit Standard Weekly Rate.
8.    Create a validation formula by using the delivered sample formula: IE Paternity Absence Validation or create a customer specific version and configure warnings for these scenarios:

  • If the leave period entered is less than two weeks.
  • If an employee takes leave after the 26-week period as the leave can be taken at any time in the 26 weeks following the birth or placement of the child.

9.     Modify the formula <Absence Element> Entitlement Result to incorporate logic for occupational payment and benefit payment. Use the documented sample formula as a reference. The formula will set the entitlement limits and generate a certificate if a medical certificate is now shown by the employee. 

10.    Create a certificate for Certificate Not Received.
11.    Configure ANC_PER_ABS_ENTRIES_DFF to add the fields:

  • Certificate Received
  • Weekly Rate Override

12.    Create an Absence Plan and attach it with the entitlement formula.
13.    Create an Absence Type and attach it with the validation formula and certificate.
