LOOKING AFTER BABY

摘要

The government has announced plans for fathers to take up to six months' paternity leave. The proposal, which would apply to parents of children due on or after 3 April 2011, would enable fathers to take paid time off during the second half of a baby's first year if the mother returns to the workplace.rnUnder the plans, which are due to come into force on 6 April, some of the leave would be paid -at the same rate as Statutory Maternity Pay (currently ￡123.06 per week) - if taken during the mother's statutory maternity pay period.
