The leave must be used within 56 days of the baby&#039;s birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Statutory Paternity Payment<\/strong>: Fathers receive a paternity payment based on the lesser of a fixed weekly amount or 90% of the average weekly wage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Eligibility<\/strong>: Parents must have worked for the same employer continuously for at least 26 weeks up to the 15th week before the due date and must earn at least \u00a3120 per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More details: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/paternity-pay-leave\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paternity Leave and Pay on the UK Government Website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-beneficio-infantil\"><strong>4. Child Benefit<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">O <strong>Child Benefit<\/strong> is a payment made to parents or guardians of children up to age 16 (or up to age 20 if they are still in education or training).

Shared Parental Leave<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Shared Parental Leave<\/strong>: Parents can split up to 50 weeks of leave and up to 37 weeks of pay between them. This flexibility allows both parents to actively participate in the first months of the baby&#039;s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Eligibility<\/strong>: To be eligible, the father must meet continuous work and earnings requirements, and the mother must shorten her maternity leave to allow for shared leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Benefits<\/strong>: This system offers greater flexibility and can be distributed in various ways, such as alternating periods of leave between parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More details: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/maternity-paternity-pay-leave\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shared Parental Leave on the UK Government Website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-direitos-de-paternidade\"><strong>6.
