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 exactly the same as requesting any time off.

You must:

  • Select the parental leave time off policy. A specific time off policy may have been created for you to use. For example, Paternity leave.

  • The child the parental leave is for

📎NOTE: If there is no child to select, you must create a child record before you can request parental leave.




Once everything has been filled out, click Submit. This time off is deducted from their parental leave allowance.
