Paternity leave/benefit

Are there any other options that I have to take time off? Contacted HR in my company and they told me that my only option is to pretty much take it all off unpaid,…

Hi all,

Wife is due in January. I’m new in a job, first job and all that so I don’t have enough PRSI contributions to qualify for paternity leave or benefit. Are there any other options that I have to take time off?

Contacted HR in my company and they told me that my only option is to pretty much take it all off unpaid, which may be a bit difficult given the expenses I have for the first month for a first child. I was previously hoping to take the two weeks paternity leave and then additional two weeks parents leave, but I’m unsure.

Any help appreciated!
