The Federal Government has approved the commencement of a\u00a014-working-day paternity leave for federal civil servants.<\/p>\n

This was made known on Monday by the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation Dr. Folasade Yemi-Esan in a circular with ref no: HCSF\/SPSO\/ODD\/NCE\/RR\/650309\/3, dated 25th November, 2022.<\/p>\n

The circular titled, \u2018Computation of Leave Based on Working Days and Approval of Paternity Leave in the Public Service\u2019, said that this was in line with the provisions of the Public Service Rules, 2021 Edition.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernment has also approved Paternity Leave for serving male officers<\/a> whose spouse delivers a baby. The period of the leave shall be fourteen working days. The leave shall not be more than once in two years, and a for maximum of four children.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere the family of a male officer adopts a child under four months old, the officer will similarly enjoy Paternity Leave for a period of fourteen working days,\u201d Yemi-Esan said.<\/p>\n

She said that request for such leave shall be accompanied by the Expected Date of Delivery\u2019s report of the officer\u2019s wife or evidence of approval of the adoption of the child by the relevant government bodies.<\/p>\n

She also said that the effective date of the circular was 25th November, 2022.<\/p>\n

According to The PUNCH reports,\u00a0the Federal Executive Council in September this year approved a 14-day paternity leave<\/a> for men in the federal civil service, to make men properly bond with their newborn baby or adopted one.<\/p>\n

She said the bonding was important to help the newly-born or adopted baby properly bond with the father in the early period.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve also gotten approval to include paternity leave. This is something that is new. And this is something that the unions in the service asked that we include, and luckily, we\u2019ve been able to include it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve also been able to ensure that leave now is calculated based on working days, not on calendar days, that also has been approved. We also have introduced the transition from paper service to a digital service. So these are some of the new things that are in the new PSR that has just been approved by the federal executive council,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
