Additional Statutory Paternity Pay

© Copyright LexisNexis 2026. All Rights Reserved.

Additional Statutory Paternity Pay (Weekly Rates) Regulations 2010 (SI 2010/Draft)

Introduce Additional Paternity Leave and Pay to give eligible employees (usually fathers) a right to up to six months’ leave to care for a child, if the child’s mother or (in the case of adoptions) the primary adopter returns to work without exercising their full entitlement to maternity leave.

Some of the leave may be paid if it is taken during the mother’s maternity pay period or, for adopted children, during the primary adopter’s adoption pay period. The entitlement to Additional Paternity Leave and Pay will apply to parents of children due on or after 3 April 2011, or to adoptive parents notified of having been matched on or after that date.

 

In force : 6 April 2010
