time of because wife just had a baby :D

[jk_0703]

was just wondering since I haven't been employed long enough to qualify for paternity pay(only been here 9months) but is there any way I can try and claim something off the government for the 2weeks I'm off work for?

Paternity leave
• You can normally take up to two weeks’ paternity
leave, if you have at least 26 weeks’ service, have
responsibility for the child’s upbringing, and are one
of the below:
» The biological father
» The mother’s partner/husband
» Matched with a child by an adoption agency,
or are the partner/husband of someone
who has been matched
• If you have 52 weeks’ service you may be entitled
to receive full pay during paternity leave.
• You may also be entitled to shared parental leave.

And see this...

When your wife, partner or civil partner gives birth or adopts a child, you may be entitled to Ordinary Statutory Paternity Pay (OSPP). Find out more about your entitlement to receive Ordinary Statutory Paternity Pay and how to claim it.
