[Company address]

Dear [name of employer/manager]

Ref: Request for paternity leave

National Insurance No: [add number]

My [wife/partner] is expecting a baby and I will have joint responsibility for the upbringing of
the child.

Im applying to take time off work to support my partner and care for the child. The expected
date of birth for our baby is [insert date].

Id like to start my paternity leave the day the baby is born, whenever this occurs, and to
receive my paternity pay from this date.

I understand that if Im at work when the baby arrives, my leave and pay will start the day
after. I would like to take two weeks leave and pay.

I hope this is all satisfactory and I look forward to hearing back from you with confirmation of
the above.

Yours faithfully,

[Your name]
