Re: Paternity leave rights???
Congratulations.
To be entitled to statutory paternity leave and pay (currently £140.98 per week) of up to two weeks one of the requirements is to have worked for your employer continuously for at least 26 weeks by the end of the 15th week before the expected week of childbirth. So based on the fact you have only worked for your current employer for 15 weeks you would not be eligible.
Your company may have a policy on paternity leave which may give some time off if you do not have the length of service but without being paid. It may be worth asking for a copy of their policy to check this amd it may be why they are offering a week but unpaid.
If you wamt to be paid for the time off you could think about whether you would want to take it as annual holiday.If you would like a one-to-one expert consultation with me on your employment issue than I can be contacted by emailing admin@legalbeaglesgroup.com

The paternity policy may not be in your contract but should be part of a staff handbook.If you would like a one-to-one expert consultation with me on your employment issue than I can be contacted by emailing admin@legalbeaglesgroup.com
