Maternity Leave


Recommended Posts


First of all, you don't get any maternity leave... unless you are the one giving birth :o

You're looking for paternity leave (up to two weeks around the time of birth) or paternal leave (time off to care for a child).

The rules have been beefed up recently, see:

and

http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Parents/Moneya...ing/DG_10029416

It says you need to be the biological father(paternity) or be named on the birth certificate (paternal), but does not specify whether the mother has to be a UK national/resident. You need to get your head around this quickly as the timing of paternity leave is very specific.

Suggest you call the ACAS helpline for specific advice: 08457 47 47 47

Chok dee.
