Explain Paternity Paid Leave

Paternity leave is for fathers of the unborn or new born child. In order to be eligible for a paternity leave, you should be an employee of a company and not worker, and you should have worked for the company for a minimum period of 12 continuous months. The leave is authorized so that you can take care of the mother and baby and be involved in the child's upbringing.

However, the US does not have paid paternity leave. But paid paternity leave is a reality in the UK.

In order to qualify for this kind of leave in the UK, you should have stayed with the employer for 26 weeks. There are some other conditions to be met like you should be the biological father of the child; you should have been married legally, or you should be legally adopting the child. In case it is a same sex relationship, you should still have a legal contract with your partner. In case you are adopting the child, then there should be legal proof that you are father, and also you should be the partner of the mother.

In order to qualify for the pay, you should fall into the least earnings limit or LEL category. This is required for the contributions from national insurance companies.

In case you are a sub contractor or worker, then you may not receive the benefit of paternity paid leave absolutely.

Paternity leave is for a stipulated or predetermined time. You can take up to one to two weeks of paid paternity leave in the UK. You can take leave right from the day the baby is born. You can start taking leave on any day of the week provided the baby is born. You can file for leave based on the expected due date for the mother.
