Additional Paternity Leave – “a new right”

The Government has published draft regulations to introduce Additional Paternity Leave (APL).  Once approved the Regulations will come in to force on 6th April 2010.In essence it will enable Mothers of children due on or after 3rd April 2011 to transfer up to six months of their maternity leave to the Father, when they return to work.  This may or may not be paid leave, depending on the amount of statutory maternity pay received already by the Mother.  Similar provision will also apply to adoptive parents.
