Reference: Additional Fields for Leave Types

Additional fields enable you to capture data related to global statutory requirements. You can use the information captured by the additional fields for any purpose, such as determining eligibility or balances. Configure an absence rule that references the field that performs the calculation or validation.

Additional Field	Description	Example
Adoption Notification Date	The date of the formal notification of adoption. Used in Workday Payroll for the UK for Statutory Adoption Pay, Ordinary Paternity Leave, and Statutory Shared Parental Pay.
Adoption Placement Date	The date the adopted child places with one or more adoptive parents.
Age of Dependent	The age of the dependent associated with the leave request.
Case Number	The case number for the leave event.
Cesarean Section Birth	Some leaves calculate entitlements based on whether the parent has had a cesarean section.
Child's Birth Date	The date of birth of the child associated with the leave request.
Child Disability Indicator	Child disability can impact some leave entitlements. You can use this field for social insurance reporting requirements and to potentially increase entitlement for the worker.
Date Baby Arrived Home From Hospital	The date when the baby associated with the leave request arrived home from the hospital.	In the Netherlands, the spouse or partner of the mother of a newborn child has an entitlement to 2 days of paid paternity leave. Take the leave within the first 4 weeks of the baby's birth, if born at home. Take the leave from the date that the baby came home, if born in a hospital.
Date Child Entered Country	The date that a child adopted from overseas entered the country. Used in Workday Payroll for the UK for Statutory Adoption Pay, Ordinary Paternity Leave, and Statutory Shared Parental Pay.
Date of Recall	Used for the Record of Employment (ROE) report in Canada.
Dependent Detail	The name of a spouse or partner. Used in Workday Payroll for the UK for Statutory Shared Parental Pay.
Expected Due Date	The child's expected birth date. Used in Workday Payroll for the UK for Statutory Maternity Pay, Ordinary Paternity Leave, and Statutory Shared Parental Pay.	In the UK, the earliest that a maternity leave can start is usually 11 weeks before the expected due date.
Last Date for Which Paid	Used for the Record of Employment (ROE) report in Canada.
Leave Entitlement Override	Used to override a worker's original leave entitlement. You can also use it to enter an entitlement that Workday can't calculate. Example: When you store the calculation's required data stored outside of Workday. The override units match the leave entitlement units. The maximum leave entitlement override is 99,999.	Jonathan works for a Workday customer in the UK, unlike his wife Adeyola. Jonathan wishes to take Shared Parental Leave. His legal entitlement depends upon how much maternity leave Adeyola has taken. Set Jonathan's new entitlement limit. Example: Jonathan's entitlement is less than the maximum because of the maternity leave his wife has already taken.
Leave Percentage	Used when workers take partial leave of absence, this field enables workers to enter the percentage of time they want to take when they're requesting leave. When you enable proration on the leave type, Workday prorates the leave units taken by the leave percentage and reduces the leave entitlement balance accordingly. The maximum leave percentage is 100. Typically, workers enter a value between 1 and 100 to indicate the percentage of leave they want to take. Workers should only enter a decimal value of less than 1 when they want to indicate a value lower than 1 percent.	Due to a medical condition, Nicolas works half days for a month. On the leave request, he enters 50 in the Leave Percentage field to indicate 50 percent and not 0.50.
Location During Leave	The location for a worker on leave at another academic institution.
Multiple Child Indicator	Multiple births, such as twins, can impact some leave entitlements.
Number of Babies/Adopted Children	Some leaves calculate entitlements based on the number of children born or adopted at the same time. You can use this option along with the Multiple Child Indicator or independently.	In Norway, parents have 5 additional weeks of parental leave at 100% pay for their first child. They have 7 additional weeks at 80% pay per additional child.
Number of Child Dependents	Some leaves calculate entitlements based on the total number of child dependents.	In France, parents receive different entitlements for adoption leaves based on the number of child dependents they have before the adoption.
Number of Previous Births	Some leaves calculate entitlements based on the number of previous births that a mother has had.
Number of Previous Maternity Leaves	Some leaves calculate entitlements based on the number of previous maternity leaves a mother has taken.
Single Parent Indicator	Some leaves calculate entitlements based on whether the parent is a single parent.
Social Security Disability Code	Used for the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) Folio Code associated with long term leaves. Mexican authorities issue this number to reconcile government disability payments with the worker's absence from work.
Stillbirth/Baby Deceased	Some leaves calculate entitlements based on whether a baby is stillborn or dies soon after birth.
Stop Payment Date	The date that a leave payment should end. Used in Workday Payroll for the UK for Additional Statutory Paternity Pay (ASPP). However, ASPP has been replaced by Statutory Shared Parental Pay and is no longer in use.
Week of Confinement	The Sunday before a child's due date.
Work Related	Used for the Record of Employment (ROE) report in Canada.
