Ordinary Statutory Paternity Pay
Ordinary Statutory Paternity Pay is paid for up to two consecutive weeks, depending on how long you choose to take Ordinary Paternity Leave for. The current weekly rate is £124.88 (£128.73 from April 2011) or 90 per cent of your average weekly earnings, if that is less.
Length of Ordinary Paternity Leave
As long as you meet certain conditions you can take either one or two weeks' Ordinary Paternity Leave. You can't take odd days off and if you take two weeks they must be taken together.
A week is based on your usual working pattern. So if you work Mondays and Tuesdays only, a week would be two days or if you work Monday to Friday, a week would be five days.
To qualify for Ordinary Paternity Leave, you must tell your employer:
•when the baby is due or when the child is expected to be placed with you for adoption
•whether you want one or two weeks' Ordinary Paternity Leave
•when you want your Ordinary Paternity Leave to start
You must give your employer the correct amount of notice. You should tell them in writing either:
•at least 15 weeks before the beginning of the week when the baby's due
•within seven days of being told by the adoption agency that you have been matched with a child
A simple way to give notice is to fill in a 'self-certificate'. You can download form SC3 'Becoming a parent', which works as a self-certificate.
Your Ordinary Paternity Leave can start on any day of the week (but not before the baby is born). It has to finish within 56 days of the baby's birth. If the baby is born before the week it was due, it must finish within 56 days of the first day of that week. You can start Ordinary Paternity Leave after a period of parental leave has ended.
If your partner has a multiple birth, you are only allowed one period of Ordinary Paternity Leave.
You should tell your employer the date of the birth or actual date of adoption placement in writing if your employer requests it. However, you do not have to give your employer any medical evidence of the pregnancy or birth to claim Ordinary Paternity Leave or Pay
