At the moment the maternity/paternity row doesn't really work for employees taking adoption leave or shared parental leave. Employees are now taking various forms of parental leave in different ways and it would be useful to be able to have it all in one category rather than having to add forms of other events to get round it. At the moment if you click to add maternity/paternity leave it wants to know the birth date of the child and auto-populates ordinary maternity and additional maternity leave. It would be good to have options for adoption date, the ability to clarify adopter or co-adopter, specific maternity or paternity, and for various continuous or discontinuous blocks of shared parental leave to be added.
| Describe the Challenge | There is currently no easy way to input shared parental leave or adoption leave (for primary adopter or co-adopter) in a meaningful way. |
We also need - shared parental, neonatal (new law coming into place), Time off for dependants, carers leave etc
How this pushes into linked access payroll systems needs to also be considered. hence why using 'other events' doesn't work as these don't push into payroll, due to the need for HMRC to be made aware of these additional parental leaves.
