XpertHR maternity and paternity pay survey 2011: paternity pay

Author: Rachel Sharp

Most employers will not be offering additional paternity leave and pay that is more generous than the statutory entitlement and do not expect high employee take-up of the new rights, according to XpertHR's survey of 263 organisations.

Key points

  • Almost three-quarters (73.8%) of the 263 organisations taking part in the XpertHR survey of maternity and paternity pay will not be offering additional paternity pay on more generous terms than the statutory provision.
