If your company has created a parental leave policy, such as maternity leave. An employee or admin/team manager can request this leave when appropriate.
📎NOTE: You can't request parental leave on the Sage HR app.
The process is the same as requesting any time off. You would just need to select the relevant time of policy. For example, Paternity leave. The only difference is that you will need to select a child record that the leave is for.
Once everything has been filled out, click Submit. This time off is deducted from their parental leave allowance.
Why would a child record not appear during the leave request?
Child record doesn't exist
If the relevant child isn't listed when requesting parental leave, this may be because someone hasn't yet created the child record within the employee's profile.
Time off policy isn't based on an event
There will be no child dropdown if the policy isn't set up to accrue based on an event.
Event based policy based on due date, but the due date has passed

Event based policy based on date of birth, but child doesn't have a date of birth
If the time off policy is based on an event, but the event is Expected child due date; The child record needs to have a completed date of birth, and be a date in the past, as the request is made
