Manage a changed paternity leave start date in relation to a child adopted from within the UK
Key points
To exercise the right to take paternity leave, an employee is required to give the employer notice providing specified information within a set timescale, including when they want the leave period to start.
The employee may change their mind about the paternity leave start date as long as they give the employer at least 28 days' notice.
