Adding maternity or paternity periods to Polaris is a nice straightforward process as will be shown in this article.
Firstly, you will need to go onto the employee's staff maintenance page and navigate to the "Maternity" or "Paternity" module depending on your requirement.
For maternity, click the blue "Add New" button in the top right-hand corner of the screen - this will then bring up the below screen:
If you have received a MAT B1 form, click "Yes" next to the question and add in the date it has been received and scan in if applicable.
You will then need to add in the expected week of confinement (EWC), the SMP start date and the return to work date.
Once completed, click save and this will have completed the maternity set up.
For paternity, it is the same process as the maternity set up.
The only difference is that you will be prompted to add in a SC3 form as opposed to a MAT B1 form.
