UK Paternaty Pay - how generous is your employer?

I am expecting my first child in June and have enquired about what
paternity payment I will get.

It turns out that I get the statuatory 2 weeks at =A3100 and my employer
will subsidise the first week to make it up to my normal pay. (ie I get
one week off at full pay, if I want the other then I get =A3100 for the
second week)

I know that it was only a couple of years ago that any kind of
paternaty leave was introduced, but I am interested in how this
compares with other large UK companies (especially retail)

..=2E.please let me know if your company exceeds/falls short of this level
paternaty.


Many thanks

My employer is much better than that.

100% pay first week
90% pay second week

Any other time over those two weeks can be added from holiday allotment if
requested, with no problems.

Company is a large IT based one though

My husband's employer ~(local government) pays full pay for one week
and 102.80 (Statutory Paternity Pay) the second week.

Isn't that maternity pay? The OP asked about paternity pay.

I work in a university, and the standard paternity pay is two weeks at
full pay. Which is pretty generous. Also, they like you to take at
least one of those weeks straight after the birth, but you can take
the rest up to 56 days later, so you can split the leave and take some
when you may find it more helpful - can't speak for anyone else, but
my Mum came to stay when the baby born, for a fortnight, so I didn't
need OldBloke at home as well. However, two months later when we
wanted to do a "round Britain tour of the families" the week came in
very handy!

Mr DH (American based company) would have had two weeks at £100. This would
have had such an impact on our income (as my maternity pay was also a bit
woeful) that he only took one week off.

UK Civil Service gives you two weeks full pay. £100 isn't even half of
minimum wage, better than nothing I suppose, but not good.
