How do you handle a person on maternity leave?

You have a few options: First option, Remove the employee's pay frequency from her profile so that no payslips are generated. However, once you generate payslips again you have to override the leave earned as it will calculate leave from the to date of the last payslip to the to date of the new payslip when returned. Second option, Terminate the employee and make maternity the reason. You then have two options on rehiring the employee: 1. Clear the termination date once returned, but again override the leave earned as above. 2. Rehire the employee and update the leave opening balance date and quantities in her Opening Balances tab in her employee profile. If you terminate and rehire, two IRP5s will be generated in the same financial year. If you prefer one IRP5, then clearing the pay frequency (setting it on Please Select) or terminate and clear termination date and reason would be best.
