Hi there, I have an offer to join a new company on the 1st August, which I'm stoked about. My wife is due to give birth on the 9th August and will naturally need to take paternity leave. I haven't signed the offer yet but plan to.

How should I navigate this with my new boss?

For context, I was laid off in May so the timing was always going to be off.
