Split maternity pay

[Scotland1990]

Hi looking for a wee bit of advice. As the wife earns much more money than me we were looking at splitting maternity.

Do Royal Mail just pay guys statuary paternity if we split it or do I get full wages for a certain time?

Thanks for any help

Full pay for 2 weeks and then statutory.

You’ll need to fill in a couple of forms

Enjoy the time off

Thanks so my wife is going to take 3 months off does this mean I can take 6 months off on statuary plus my 2 weeks paternity?

I agree mate however can’t afford sadly for her to be off any longer. Can do without my wage but no chance of doing without hers.
