Hello guys, I was wondering if "paternal leave" was at employers discretion or I was "permitted" it. I work for local council and have worked for them just over a year.I have had another addition to the family and requested the above.
I took my annual leave to cover this period but the baby came a little late.We are finding it hard as we already have a small un just gone 1 !
My line manager and her manager were both aware at the time but not of the actual date or arrival.
My manager is away till JAN 4 and the temp manager ( whom I know) said she would see her manager ( yes I now) and talk to me on Monday.
I am not sure back till Tuesday and could do with the time off really. Anyone in HR help me out here?
My quesions:
Is paternal leave paid or not?
Am i allowed 2 weeks off?
Am i being fair?
