My husband just started this job in october and i am having a c section on a friday and we were wandering how long the paternity leave for him is because i have two other young children that will need care while i am recooperating? He has not yet been there for a year so is not covered by the FLMA and has no vacation or sick leave either but how long can he stay home without getting fired.

Check company policy and check with your state mandates to see how long legally he can take off.

I think ALL men are entitled to two weeks paternity leave, to taken within the first 6 weeks after the birth. I think it's paid, but so poorly that men do not take the leave!!!!

they have to be in there job 26weeks befor there entilted to paternity leave then they get 2weeks but it isnt always full pay so you have to look at it finacily aswell as with a new baby you dont want to be out of pocket

I assume you're in the USA. . . he would not have access to any paid leave whatsoever. Has he talked with his company? Most will ALLOW you to take a week or two, but I believe its their perrogative.
