Paternity Leave - Notice Period

Post by postman15 »

Dear colleagues,

I just found out that employee needs to inform RM at least 15 weeks before the child is born. Unfortunately I found out this a bit late. My child will be born in Early May and the time in between is approx 13 weeks,
Will this cause any problems when applying for the Paternity Leave.


Cheers
