Paternity Leave

Parental leave, which includes what is often called paternity leave for fathers, is a policy that lets employees take time away from work to care for a newborn or adopted child. It allows both parents to spend meaningful time with and care for their child during the early stages of parenthood.

Parental leave terms and durations vary depending on the country, location, and workplace rules, unlike maternity leave, which is specifically for mothers recovering from childbirth.
