Pregnancy Work Ban Leave (Germany)

Pregnancy work ban leave is used when an employee can’t work for reasons related to their pregnancy. For example, health issues, work hardship, or night shifts.

Before You Begin: This topic applies to German pay groups only. For general information about the Leave Management screen, see Leave Management.

A pregnancy work ban leave record can be linked to an existing maternity leave record. However, it can also be non-linked in the case where no regular maternity leave is on file yet. For example, an employee might request pregnancy work ban leave before informing the employer of a pregnancy. See Add Linked Leave Records (Germany).

When you select Pregnancy Work Ban in the Reason drop-down list, Dayforce shows the sections and settings described in the following table.
