Dear Seniors,

I am working with an IT company. I would like to know about paternity leave policy to implement in our company.
1. How many leaves can they avail?
2. Is this policy mandatory in every company?

Request you to please provide the details.

Regards,

Dear Jesus,

Paternity leave, as of now, is not mandatory, but many companies provide it. Usually, it varies from three days to ten days and is typically restricted to two children in most cases. Rarely, some companies may offer paternity leave in the event of a miscarriage of the wife, with durations ranging from two days to seven days.

In addition, some companies offer a gift cheque of Rs. 5000/- per child for up to two children, along with paternity leave.

Kind regards,

Dear Indira,

It is not mandatory for the company to provide paternity leave for its employees. However, companies may choose to offer this benefit, typically ranging from a minimum of 2 days to a maximum of 7 days. In some companies, additional gifts such as child insurance or child care sets may also be provided, depending on the employee's status.

Dear Indira, As I have already told you that it is not onto the law for the company to give a paternity leave to their employees, it would surely be applicable to companies in AP..

Dear Indira,

It is not mandatory for the company to give paternity leave to their employees. However, employees can avail of their CL or SL leave. In some companies, they may also give some gifts depending on the employee's status.

Thank you.

Dear Indira,

Indeed, paternity leave policy for men is a must because the following points appended below help them feel happy at all times.

a) A husband who is really near to the wife is happier to express what she wants.

b) A week's holiday has to be given, which is a must.

c) Gifts like a sum of Rs 5000/- are a must, where the husband feels a sense of belonging to the company he is working for.

d) This leave is excluded from his CL or SL or a long vacation planned earlier.

Paternity leave is not mandatory for the private sector.
