What is the duration of the statutory Paternity Leave?
The duration of the statutory paternity leave is capped at a specific number of fully paid days. Under Republic Act No. 8187, the male employee is granted his full pay for exactly seven days. During these seven days, he is legally allowed not to report for work to care for his family. This period gives the father dedicated time to focus entirely on his family’s immediate needs. 16-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
