Who is eligible
For you to qualify for Statutory Paternity Pay, all of the following must apply:
you must be the biological father or adopter of the child or be the mother's (or adopter's) husband, partner or civil partner or have or expect to have responsibility for the child's upbringing
you must have continued to work for the same employer without a break for at least 26 weeks by the 15th week before the baby is due, or employed up to and including the week your wife, partner or civil partner was matched with a child
you must continue to work for that employer without a break up to the date the child is born or placed for adoption
you must be earning an average of at least £97 a week (before tax)
How much do you get
If your average weekly earnings are £97 or more (before tax), Statutory Paternity Pay is paid for one or two consecutive weeks at £124.88 or 90 per cent of your average weekly earnings if this is less.
How it's paid
Your employer will pay Statutory Paternity Pay to you in the same way and at the same time as your normal wages.
Statutory Paternity Pay is treated as normal pay and so they'll also deduct tax and National Insurance as usual
