Paternity leave + SA

[patman_post]

Evening folks,
Should have a little one arriving imminently, and will be taking my paternity leave as soon as he's here. Question is, will I get paid for my SA collections that I've signed for (I'm scheduled to do the same afternoons weekly, get paid for them whilst on annual leave etc) whilst on paternity leave? Manager assures me I will, but wanted to get abit of reassurance from anyone who's been in the same situation. Cheers in advance chaps!

not come accross this but as this is an authorised and recognised absence with pay i would assume so too.
