  • Paternity Leave

    Hi guys,

    I am currently on Paternity leave (2 Weeks) and my situation is as follows.....

    Son born Saturday 18th May 2013 and told I have to work Friday 31st May 2013. Saturday 18th May was my day off anyway.

    I also have a text from my assistant manager stating that I am not due back until Sunday 2nd June and no other correspondance from any other management (it was a friend who text me telling me managment have said I have to work friday 31st May)!

    Now if my memory serves me right I am entitled to 2 weeks paternity leave, which was agreed and confirmed, and the paternity leave, by law, is not allowed to be started before the baby is born regardless of due date (my son was due on 17th May, but born on the 18th May?

    Thank you for reading, sorry if its a bit jumbled but as you can probably guess I am absolutely knackered with having a new hungry baby

      Re: Paternity Leave

      You have a text confirming your leave days and management have not said otherwise. A text from a colleague is not a management instruction. But to state the blindingly obvious, it might be sensible to phone work and say that there appears to have been an error, which in all probability there has! Dashing in quoting the law and your rights as a first choice action might make you right, but it doesn't make it more than an error and simply puts backs up.
