Paternity Leave

[SmashMartian]

Are you required to work a certain length of time with an employer before you qualify for paternity leave?

[Buenchico]

Yes. The requirements include this:

"You can take statutory paternity leave if you have been with your employer for at least 26 weeks by the end of the 15th week before the beginning of the week when the baby's due".
