Dh was told this morning he can't have Paternity leave, he put the forms in 14 weeks ago (I am 37 weeks on Sunday next), we used the forms from the ACAS website and copied the guidance to them as well because he's the first to use the paternity rules there. His boss called him in today and said he can't have it, they only accept internal forms not the ones from the ACAS and government websites, and the Human resource lady didn't didn't process the forms before she'd given holiday to too many poelpe (baby due at Easter, one of their busiest epriods both for wotk and holiday requests).
Without it we're stuck, he doesn't have enough holiday , we have 3 kids already 2 disabled and live a good distance away from anyone who can help with htem. We have a homebirth booked and a Doula so that DH can be with the boys and she can be with me. Without dh there, there'd literaly be nobody to have them as family don't drive.
DH ahs to call the HR lady today when he wakes (he works nights), any adivice?
