Statutory paternity leave (ordinary paternity leave)
A period of leave granted by statute to an employee which consists of one or two weeks' ordinary paternity leave.
Previously, this may have also included a period of additional paternity leave (APL) but APL is no longer available. An employee may qualify for statutory paternity pay.
