Dear All,
Opening a thread to understand views of experts on "Paternity leave to a male employee in case of miscarriage of his wife."
There are maternity benefits and leaves for a female employee; we are mostly aware of this. We also know the provisions of leave in case of abortion for them. Seeking your valuable advice and views on leave for a male employee in case of miscarriage/abortion of his wife. As per the law, we do have provisions for leave for a female employee. The question is, why is there no such provision for a male employee? The family undergoes turmoil and pain... In this fast life, a family is so nuclear that a husband is the only one for the lady to take her out from it.
HR practices have changed, policies have come for better work, employee, and company relationships. We always need to change for the betterment, and this should be continual. Your views may help me to formulate and implement a policy on this.
Thanks,
Sachin

Dear Sachiindra,
Your effort to find the answer has answered the question. Nothing stops us from granting leaves to an employee for such humane reasons. It would be good if legal authorities and government bodies declared this as a law. However, until then, we are free to continue it as one of our best practices at our organizations.
Now, here's my question: do you work in the HR Department at your firm? We might be able to help you propose this to your management.
Hope that answers your question.
