Paternity Leave

This section discusses the rights to paid Paternity and Adoption Paternity leave by employees.  These rights apply regardless of gender.

As from April 3rd 2011 mothers will be able to share their maternity leave and pay with the father or other person responsible for the upbringing of the child.  The new legislation also applies to children adopted by couples in different sex relationships and to couples in same sex relationships and/or civil partnerships

The new entitlement will be called Additional Paternity Leave (APL) and will be in addition to the current entitlement to Paternity Leave and Pay. In the case of adoption, where a child is adopted jointly, one partner (of either sex) may take adoption leave and the other may take statutory paternity leave (currently two weeks).
