Family Leave - Paternity
These arrangements apply to colleagues who are the baby’s biological father and / or where they expect to share the main care responsibilities for the child with their wife or partner. You may also be entitled to paternity leave and pay if you’re having a baby via a surrogate or adopting a child.
The law on family leave is very detailed, so we’ve tried to make this section as easy to understand as we can. We hope this answers any questions you might have but, if there’s anything you’re unsure of, please have a chat with your line manager or the People Team.
Are you adopting a child or having a baby via a surrogacy arrangement?
Make sure you review this information alongside our Adoption or Surrogacy policy.
Need some help?
Please have a chat with your line manager if you have any questions or concerns about any of the policies within our Colleague Handbook, or if you need any further support or guidance. If you require any information in an alternative format, please email peopleteam@eastofengland.coop.
Whilst we've tried to make our Colleague Handbook friendlier and more accessible, our policies and procedures are just as important. Please bear in mind that any breaches of our policies and procedures may result in disciplinary action.
