(asked on 21st January 2025) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether her Department offers paternity leave to its staff from their first working day.
This question was answered on 29th January 2025
HMT staff must have worked continuously for the Civil Service for at least 26 weeks to be eligible for paternity leave.
The Employment Rights Bill will remove this requirement and staff will be entitled to paternity leave from their first working day. HMT will implement this legislative change when it comes into force.
