Limits may be set by employment law in each country where your organization operates. This example assumes maternity leave:
-
Can start no earlier than 30 days before, and no later than 15 days before the expected arrival date.
-
Can end no earlier than 20 days after, and no later than 180 days after the actual arrival date.
-
Is the same for all employees regardless of seniority.
In the Absence Accrual Seniority attached to the Rule for Maternity leave, set the field values as follows:
-
Earliest Parental Leave Start: 30
-
Earliest Parental Leave End: 20
-
Latest Parental Leave Start: 15
-
Latest Parental Leave End: 180
When expected and actual arrival dates are the same, these limits mean a period of maternity leave can be no less than 35 days (15 + 20) and no more than 210 days (30 + 180). In practice, expected and actual arrival dates often differ because the child can arrive earlier or later than expected. Consequently, the duration of maternity leave can vary.
