Use

You can use this service to carry out the required steps when one of your employees goes on maternity leave.

The service is provided as a model in the standard system; you can, however, create and implement customer-specific services at any time.

Features

The Maternity Leave service supports an employee’s request for maternity leave, which is initiated by the employee herself. Once the process has been executed successfully, the master data of the affected employee are updated. In other words, the employee's leaving was performed at the master data level. As well as the employee, the HR Administrator portal role is also active in executing the process. The administrator receives an e-mail from the employee who submits the Certificate of Pregnancy and the 7 Weeks Certificate as attachments using the Maternity Leave service in the Employee Self-Service application in the Life and Work Events area.

The Maternity Leave Germany service in ESS is assigned to the Maternity Leave Germany process in HR Administrative Services. For detailed information, see the documentation for the Sample Processes.

Prerequisites

To use the service, take note of the following:

●     Validity of the service

Employees can access the service through a link only if the process, and therefore the service, are valid. If they are not valid, the link is grayed out and cannot be used.

●     Authorization for the service

The service is displayed only if the employee has the required authorization. For example, if an employee has authorization, the Maternity Leave Germany service is displayed.

●     Country specifics for the service

The service is displayed according to the country.

If an employee from Germany logs on, the system dynamically displays the Maternity Leave Germany service.
