• Paternity Leave Notification

  • While completing this plan is not mandatory for eligibility for paternity leave, it is advisable to share most of the information it includes with the company. You may find it helpful to complete this with your Line Manager.

  • You can choose to take either 1 or 2 weeks. You get the same amount of leave if your partner has a multiple birth (such as twins).

    You must take your leave in one go. A week is the same amount of days that you normally work in a week - for example, a week is 2 days if you only work on Mondays and Tuesdays.

  • Leave cannot start before the birth. It must end within 56 days of the birth (or due date if the baby is early).

    You must give your employer 28 days’ notice if you want to change your start date.

    You do not have to give a precise date when you want to take leave (for example 1 February). Instead you can give a general time, such as the day of the birth or 1 week after the birth.
