For paternity leave, my husband is legally entitled to the first six months at 67% pay, and then the remaining months at 50% pay, up to a year of leave, right? all well and good, fantastic.
HOWEVER, since the payments come from a different body and not from his actual company, the payments are delayed. not unusual.
we knew this but thought it was only going to be a month or so late
nope, FOUR MONTHS. for the privilege of paternity leave, we get to exist without any income for 4 months. ✌🏼🤡
