Army Regulation For Paternity Leave

According to the rules and regulations of the United States Army, paternity leave is only allowed to a soldier who is legally married, and has fathered a child. If he is on active duty, active guard or reserve he can claim paternity leave. It is also a non-chargeable form of leave. Paternity leave cannot be claimed by soldiers who are fathering a child out of wedlock. For example, the soldier cannot get permission for leave if his girlfriend is pregnant and about deliver a baby.

Having wedlock is of utmost importance. This cannot be applied to live in army couples either. The paternity leave for army personnel is not more than 10 days and also it has to be taken continuously within the first 45 days of the child being born.

If the leave is not used in the said manner, then it will be lost. However, if soldiers have been deployed elsewhere where there is restriction on leave, then they can avail the 10 days within the first 60 days of their return. The leave lapses if not used within the stipulated time.

Actually until the new laws for paternity leave was made, the entire United States was following the army rule. However, with the Family and Medical Leave Act in place, other organizations and the federal government have migrated to the newer rules and regulations, while the United States army is still stringent about its leave policy.

There are several restrictions and conditions that have to be followed by soldiers to get this type of leave. This is called the Army Guidance for Paternity Leave. This gives guidelines for requesting the paternity leave, and more information can be found on US army website under the aforementioned heading.
