Eligibility for paternity leave and pay is dependent on length of service.
Employees with at least 26 weeks’ service by the end of the 15th week before the expected week of childbirth (matching week in the case of adoption) are entitled to two weeks’ Paternity Leave and Statutory Paternity Pay.
Occupational Paternity Pay (OPP) is an enhanced pay provision provided by the University and is inclusive of any statutory pay. To qualify for OPP you must have been employed continuously with the University for a minimum period of 12 months before the EWC or the adoption of your child.
