How do I create a maternity leave/paternity calendar event?

Modified on Tue, 10 Dec at 2:27 PM

Cintra iQ has the functionality to process Statutory Paternity Pay (SPP) which is managed in the first instance via the calendar in the same way as all absence. Then the form is used to enter the other information needed to calculate correctly.

The rules for calculating statutory paternity pay are either by weeks or calendar days to the end of the pay period. This is set in the payroll setup as is whether SPP is offset.

To create a paternity calendar event

Navigate to the employee's Employment Calendar window.
Go to Cintra iQ: Employment Record> Forms> Calendar
Select the desired view.
Locate the desired date(s) that the employee is absent.
Right-click date. A menu appears.
Click New Calendar Event. The Select Attendance Category drop-down list appears.
Select the desired Paternity Leave option.
Click the Next button. The New Paternity Leave calendar event form appears.
Enter the Notified of Calendar Event date.
Enter the Return to work date, if required.
Click the OK button.

Note:

If you have not entered a return to work date, a message appears stating: The Return to Work date has not been entered for this absence. Do you wish to leave it open at this time?
Click the Yes button to leave the Return to Work Date open. The Paternity Leave form is closed and the event appears in the calendar. It also becomes a Paternity Pay record in the employee's Parental Payments> Paternity Pay tab.
Click the Close button.
