You may take 2 weeks as a single block or as 2 separate one-week periods within 52 weeks of birth (post-April 2024 rules). Leave cannot start before the date of birth.
SPP is paid by your employer. Average Weekly Earnings (AWE) are calculated from the 8 weeks ending with the Qualifying Week (15th week before the due date).
ℹ Enhanced pay is at your employer's discretion. Statutory Paternity Pay (SPP) is the legal minimum. If your employer offers more, your contract will specify the rate. SPP is always the floor — your employer cannot pay less.
⚠ Employees earning less than £125 per week (Lower Earnings Limit 2025/26) do not qualify for Statutory Paternity Pay. You may be eligible for Universal Credit instead. Check eligibility at GOV.UK.
