Additional paternity leave - have you or your partner taken or plan to take it?

Not an issue as such, but more general nosiness!

I've just been chatting to dh about work stuff and having another baby at some point and he mentioned additional paternity leave. We worked out that if we both worked at the same employer (we used to) we'd both be entitled to 15 weeks full pay during the leave. Furthermore, if we juggled annual leave we could have nearly 40 weeks off on full pay after the birth of our [imaginary] baby.

Would knowing this encourage you to go back to work earlier? Or would it not make any difference to you how long you could take off on full pay and whether your dh could take some time off on full pay too?

@KatieMiddleton

I've asked MNHQ to add some APL information to their work, childcare and family pages because there's loads of maternity stuff but no APL.

Which there should be of course when it's arguably the biggest change to parental rights and equality for years.

We've updated the info on the page now. Big thanks, Katie, for flagging up and being so helpful. Take your pick of Wine, Brew or Thanks
