A Bill to extend eligibility to paternity leave and pay; to make provision for more flexibility in the timing of, and notice period for, paternity leave; and for connected purposes.
The Bill would broaden who can qualify for paternity leave and pay, so more people can take time off when a child is born. It would also give workers more flexibility about when they take paternity leave and how much notice they must give, with related provisions to support these changes.
