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 has become applicable to government employees. For details, please refer to the earlier thread on the same subject on citehr.

Paternity leave is not mandatory for the private sector.

Thanks & Regards

Please guide me on this. Suppose an employee's weekly off is on Friday. If he goes on leave from Saturday and resumes duty on the next Saturday, will his Friday be taken as the weekly off as he worked on Saturday? Please advise.


Hi everyone,

I just need to know how many SL an employee is entitled to (minimum) and how many EL (minimum). Another thing is, is there any rule or legality that we have to follow regarding carrying forward the unused SL's? If so, what is the maximum number of days we can carry them forward and when do they lapse? Please consider the AP laws (Shops and Establishment Act) while responding.
