My dp is currently on paternity leave. Or he would be, if his work hadn't informed him that if he's on paternity leave he only gets statutory paternity pay of £100/week. So he's taken annual leave instead.
I am, obviously, deeply pissed off about this (particularly as he has Caring Sharing Employer). I have written a bit on the issue in the past but quite frankly don't have the energy to go rooting around in my notes and websites at the moment, what with having 8-day-old baby who is the reason he's on paternity leave in the first place. I assumed that he'd get the two weeks on full pay, as he would have done in numerous places where I've worked in the past.
Do I take it from this that SPL is a bit of a rip-off? Any advice?
