Deiseb a wrthodwyd Legally increase paid paternity pay from 2 weeks to 6 weeks for all employers

At the moment, the maximum of paid paternity leave fathers can claim from their employers is 2 weeks. This is not enough time for father and baby after the birth, especially in instances that mum has had a c-section emergency or elective. Their recovery is 6 weeks long and dads often have to obtain a GP sick note in order to stay off work longer not only to care for baby but also care for their recovering partner.

We should follow many European countries who have much better paternity leave;
Lithuania - Fathers receive 30 days of paid paternity leave at 77.58% of their regular earnings.
Spain - Fathers receive 16 weeks of paid paternity leave, including a mandatory 6 weeks immediately after birth.
France - Fathers receive 25 calendar days of paternity leave, including a mandatory 4 days immediately after birth.
Iceland - Offers a very balanced system where both parents can take six months of leave each, totaling 12 months of parental leave.
Sweden - Parents are entitled to 480 days paid parental leave between them, with each parent entitled to 240 of these days while 90 of the days are reserved exclusively for each one.

Pam gwrthodwyd y ddeiseb hon?

Mae’n ymwneud â rhywbeth nad yw’r Senedd na Llywodraeth Cymru yn gyfrifol amdano.

Mae Deddf Llywodraeth Cymru 2006 yn cadarnhau graddau pŵer y Senedd i wneud cyfreithiau newydd a diwygio cyfraith bresennol (a elwir hefyd yn gymhwysedd deddfwriaethol). Mae Atodlenni 7A and 7B o Ddeddf 2006 yn nodi’r materion sy’n gyfyngedig neu a gedwir yn ôl - h.y. meysydd lle y caiff Senedd y DU, nid Senedd Cymru, ddeddfu.
