Fathers will be able to take up to six months off on paternity leave while their baby’s mother returns to work, the Government is due to announce and they will have a legal right to take the place of the mother at home for the last three months of her nine-month maternity break.
Fathers will be eligible to statutory government pay of £123 a week during that three month paternity leave and they would then be allowed to take an additional unpaid three months off, in effect providing families with 12 months of parental leave.
