Hello Dear Fathers,
i went through the topics and chats, but i could not find anything concerning how it works for a self employed (since 2005) expectant new father to get paternity leave. can one of you please give me an advice how to apply and also where to go for further information.
thanks a lot
RALF
It's probably worth having a word with your employer first, or if not (assuming you have no trade union), the speak to the Citizens Advice Bureau
I think you can go to your local job centre plus who ca organise statutory paternity pay or if you pay yourself a salary then you can just make the adjustments using PAYE
