Hello everyone, I have a question to ask: just like in maternity leave, a woman employee becomes eligible for maternity benefits if she has worked for 80 days in the organization. Is there any such time criteria for paternity leave? Can a male employee avail it while being in the training period, i.e., not being confirmed?

Hi Dipti, thanks for the information, but my doubt was whether an employee in the training period can avail of this leave or not. Is there any criteria for the minimum number of days he has to serve the employer, or does he have to be confirmed (regularized) in the organization?

There is no such rule for paternity leave. I believe it totally depends on the company's internal policy. In most organizations, it is normally allowed for 7 days, and no confirmation or training completion clause is added. It is applicable from the 1st day of service.
Please let me know in case you have any different opinion.

Paternity Leave Eligibility During Training Period
As far as concerns for the subject, "Can male employees avail paternity leave while being in the training period?" it entirely depends upon the internal policies of the concerned service/organization. Even the span and conditions for paternity leave may differ from organization to organization. There is no need to be confused with AIS/CCS/State/Railway service rules.
