How it's calculated
- Leave before the birth starts on the advice of the medical authority, up to 14 days, and the rest runs from the birth.
- Last day = first day + 98 days minus one day.
- Paternity leave is 7 days on full pay and must end by the child's 98th day.
An example
With a birth expected on 1 December 2026 and 14 days of leave before it, the leave starts on 17 November 2026 and ends on 22 February 2027.
