Payroll attributes provided for the calculation of parent's benefit payments or offsets. 

Payroll attributes are now provided for the user to set up parent's leave absences for the calculation of benefit payments and offsets.

Steps to enable and configure

Create parent's leave 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 using these details:

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

2.    Create benefit offset element using these details:

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

3.    Create benefit payment element using:

  • Primary Classification: Direct Payment

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

  • PARENTS_BENEFIT_PAYMENT
  • PROCESS_DATE

5.     Modify the formula <Absence Element> Entitlement Result to incorporate logic for occupational payment and benefit payment.

6.    Create calculation factor for the element <Absence Element> Entitlement Result for the value definition Parent's Benefit Standard Weekly Rate.

7.    Create a balance feed benefit offset element for the balance Parents Benefit Offset.

8.    Create a balance feed benefit payment element for the balance Parents Benefit Payment.

Note: This sets the entitlement limits and generates a certificate whenever the required certificate is marked as Not Received.
