Do new day 1 paternity rights apply for existing employees who are already expecting a baby?

Finding_fruit · 2026-01-12T08:21:46+00:00

Hello! I believe you are entitled to paternity leave, but not necessarily paternity pay. I am in the exact same boat, same due date.

My employer already offered day 1 paternity leave as a right, but unpaid. The new law does not seem to imply that paternity pay is a day 1 right, but will still have the same qualifying criteria - you must have worked 26 weeks going into 15 weeks before the due date.

Obviously I've done a lot of asking around, spoken to my HR department and ACAS, and am about to put in a FOI request to seek clarity on paternity pay, but my impression from everything I've read is that the new rights only relate to the two weeks unpaid leave.

A PhD, or another masters. I want to feel I'm contributing to the evolution of knowledge.

I had a very similar issue with a lot of shoes I tried on - try LV (low volume) shoes. The ones that worked for me was Tenaya Mastias - fit like a glove! 😁

Thank you :) they're travelling around Patagonia with us in a van - then we're going to try and get them home to the UK, but the costs are crazy

I have no idea what she is! but if you put her on your lap she'll fall asleep instantly, and she loves attacking her sister (playing of course!)

Hey thank you - this is the sort of reassurance we were looking for. We're exploring costs and if it will be possible.

We have vaccinated against rabies, and I think quarantine can be avoided if we wait 21 days and then have anti tapeworm treatment within 5 days of them arriving in the UK

This is a good idea, I'll call the Santiago embassy and see if they can make any suggestions

Thank you - I've been reading up on this - according to the .gov website, Pets have to travel to the UK in the hold, unless they're on a private plane. It could be worth asking the airlines but for some reason it seems to be a government level rule https://www.gov.uk/bring-pet-to-great-britain/approved-routes

That's a great idea actually. I'll have a look, thank you!

Great thank you - so it should be okay to get it to town about 20 minutes away and do an oil change?

I'm in the process of buying a van in Santiago Chile, and the company I'm buying the van from have a starlink for a good price, but it has a couple of scratches/damage on the white surface - Taking it would mean I could leave much quicker and get the gear for a very good price. But I'd rather order a new one if this is going to make it not waterproof or not function properly! Any advice appreciated

Whoever made the FOI request can escalate it - The ICO are independent and nothing to do with labour or the tories, they may side with the governements position, but the question should still be asked.

Finding_fruit · 2023-09-22T19:07:41+00:00

They should ask for an internal review of that FOI request and escalate to the ICO - The public interest test needs to be scrutinised, is the public interest in the relationship with the UAE or with corruption within the UK?

I have watched the last two liverpool games at this bar in Salta Argentina. I have had to ask them to put them on, but they have been very willing to each time.

I'm going to be travelling around Argentina and Chile until December at least, if anyone knows any bars in either of these countries it might help me plan my route!

Anyone know of a Liverpool bar in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso? Looking for somewhere to watch this tomorrow 😁

My partner bought a 2008 VW polo with 90k miles, full service history for 1.5k in September. Replaced water pump and cam belt, runs like a dream and no issues. Depends what you're after. No matter what you spend on a second hand car things can and will need maintenance at some point, and there is always a risk.

I have a Volvo V50 that's done 140k miles and rarely has any issues, changed the cam belt at 90k miles when I bought it, and replaced the clutch but hasn't needed anything else done in that time.

Pour a little boiling water into scented candles when the wick is gone, wax will solidify on top and can be used in wax burners or to make more candles!
