Paternity leave was already extended. The regulations on additional paternity leave introduced by the last government and adopted in April 2010, considered as better than nothing, are still in force for now. They affect the parents of children to be born after April 3, 2011. Fathers will be entitled to take paternity leave for 26 weeks maximum if the mother goes back to work and no longer receives maternity benefits. This leave is only compensated if it is taken during paid maternity leave, £128.73 (€154 in April, currently £124.88). Please remember that employed mothers are entitled to 52 weeks, 39 of which are compensated.
