The Government has published draft Regulations setting out changes to the current rules on statutory paternity leave. The proposed changes, which are expected to apply to births where the EWC begins after 6 April 2024 and to adoptions where the expected placement date is on or after 6 April 2024, include amendments to:
- the period within which paternity leave must be taken following a child’s birth or adoption;
- the existing requirement that paternity leave be taken in one single, continuous block; and
- the notice and evidential requirements with which an individual must comply in order to take paternity leave.
To read more about the proposed changes, see here.
