Dear Colleague
RE: Royal Mail Policy Paternity Leave
Legislation changes mean that parents with children born or matched for adoption, on or after 3 April 2011 now have greater flexibility in how they use their paternity and maternity leave.
The existing paternity leave period of two weeks following the birth/adoption of a child remains in place. However, on top of this, Additional Paternity Leave (APL) may be available to fathers/partners if the mother decides to return to work before the end of her Statutory Maternity Leave period. If when the mother returns to work, she is still within her Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) period then the individual may also receive Additional Statutory Paternity Pay (ASPP), currently £128.73, for part of the leave period.
The amount of leave and pay that an individual is entitled to take will depend on the amount that the mother/adopter has already taken. Leave can be taken between 20 weeks and one year after the birth/matching date, and can last between two and 26 weeks.
The full details of the new guidance are attached.
Any enquiries should be addressed to Ray Ellis’s department, quoting reference PTC/MA/dj/029.

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.
