In all events the co. must try and help employees while entering parenthood.
Is top mgt fine with this? check with them first
The policy given by Akanksha seems to cover the necessary requirements
Just remember, if you help the employee, the employee is engaged and will deliver more

Hi Kirtan,
A couple of companies I have come across allow Paternity leave of 7 days to be availed in one instance within 45 days of childbirth. This is also extended in case of adopting a child.

We have offered our male executives the following benefit.

PATERNITY LEAVE AS APPLICABLE (PAT. L):
A male employee with less than two surviving children may be granted Paternity Leave for a period of 2 days before or upto 7 days from the date of delivery of the child. During the period of such leave he shall be paid leave salary equal to the pay drawn immediately before proceeding on leave. Paternity Leave shall not be debited against the leave account and may be combined with other kind of leave as in the case of maternity leave. If paternity leave is not availed within this period, it will be treated as lapsed.

This is a paid leave.

Dear Sir,

What about the paternity leave of an employee who is working in a Limited company? What are the rules, and how many days can he avail as leave with payment from the company, and when can he avail the paternity leave?

Please provide detailed information.

Dear Mr. Negi,

It depends on the limited company whether it is allowing any paternity leave to its employees on its own or under any agreement with the employee(s). We do not find any labor law allowing this type of leave to the workers or employees.
