Paternity leave

Post by weara »

My wife is pregnant and the due day is on the end of February.
I have asked my manager to take 2 weeks paternity leave as soon as the baby
will born.
It is possible that will happen on my annual leave week
In that case what is happening;
When my paternity leave will start?

Im sure you get the days / week credited back to your annual leave quota. The same as if you are on sick leave and you have annual leave in that time.

Had a few issues with paternity leave, the manager requesting a MAT B1 form as a form of proof. Not sure if they have mentioned this to you but may want to get one just to cover yourself incase they be awkward and try to prevent your paternity leave.

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.
