Paternity leave

Post by Bluesbrother »

Does anybody know the rules of paternity leave if you think it will clash with the same week as your rotation ?
My wife is due to have a C section the week of my rotation so will my paternity leave start after my rotation?
Anybody has this in the past ???

You should be able to take it after your rotation week, have you given them enough notice?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Paternity leave has to be taken in 2 consectutive weeks -even if your rotation week fell in the middle of that all that happens is your rotation week is changed to put it at the end - it is very simple and no problem - go see your bookroom/dom and get it sorted now, if it falls after your rotation week then you start your 2 weeks after that - don't panic - this should have been explained when you handed in your MATB1
