What is the coverage of the statutory Paternity Leave benefit?
Paternity leave legally applies to all eligible married male employees across various sectors. As outlined in Republic Act No. 8187, coverage is universal regardless of their exact employment status. It protects probationary, regular, contractual, and project-based workers alike without discrimination. This ensures that every legally married father in the workforce can support his wife after pregnancy. 16-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
