Well he’s been into one at leastYou mean he's into women?

Great, so he's going to be asking for paternity leave now then?!?!
(I'm joking obviously. I actually think the pathetic amount of paternity leave men are allowed to take in England is scandalous).
I think it's aliens.
You get paternity leave?
Lamela and his missus are expecting their first child.
I give it approximately 3 additional posts within this thread before it's somehow played a part in his injury / "drug addiction."
The sad thing about this is he'd never be able to better that, so would thus retire
Who doesn't?
2 weeks on full pay as well as time for appointments as long as you've been employed for at least six months.
In the US? It depends on which state you're in for now as Trump wants a federal family leave law. I believe theres a law in NJ and California currently. In NY, they are instituting a family leave benefit where you'll get 50% of state average for 8 next year, and 2/3 of state average for 12 by 2022, which has been my entire life for the last 11 months and I absolutely hate it. Just the letters PFL gives me nightmaresIs that standard? Much better than over here, where it’s employer-specific, with many companies not having any paternity ( or maternity) leave.
Modern society really needs to make sure that new parents get the time they need.
On topic: Cograts to Lamela and the little lady!

Statutory Maternity Leave
Eligible employees can take up to 52 weeks’ maternity leave. The first 26 weeks is known as ‘Ordinary Maternity Leave’, the last 26 weeks as ‘Additional Maternity Leave’.
Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP)
SMP for eligible employees can be paid for up to 39 weeks, usually as follows:
- the first 6 weeks: 90% of their average weekly earnings (AWE) before tax
- the remaining 33 weeks: £140.98 or 90% of their AWE (whichever is lower)

Yeah, that's statutory for all employers in the UK, subject to a very small number of exceptions.
Maternity leave is thus:
In the UK you also get up to 1140 hours of free childcare a year, per child, for children aged 3-4 if you're in work (or half that if you're not working). You can use that how you like (spread over the year or taken in shorter, larger chunks or whatever). It works out as 30 hours per week if taken over 38 weeks which seems to be the standard way of doing it.
You in the States? Employment law and working conditions over there are absolutely in the dark ages, they really are. Most of this stuff has been around in some form in the UK for years, though the Liberal Democrats made huge improvements when they were in coalition with the Tories in recent years.
Could be wrong but aren’t a lot of our lovely employment rights because of the EU? Pretty sure Brexit is going to be cataclysmic for new parents (well, everyone, but while we’re on topic...)
