I start a new role in Feb, I haven’t told them I’m expecting a baby in April and will need paternity leave. Should I tell them pre start or wait until I’m through the door?

Did you just get the offer or got it last year and are now working your notice period? If gotten last year, you need to do the math for how long notice needs to be. If just now, it’s not too late to be upfront. I personally think that at the very least, you should have mentioned it in your HR conversation when an offer was being proposed. Also some places only give pat leave if you’ve been at the firm for a certain amount of time. I know this is being reviewed but not sure if already scrapped so double check

I don’t think it’ll affect joining in that I doubt offers get pulled for things like this. I do think that an element of transparency would have been expected and appreciated though. A request to speak with HR once you knew they wanted to give you an offer in the spirit of full disclosure would have probably been most ideal but worth raising it now nonetheless.

Unless your company has a non standard policy, you won’t be entitled to statutory paternity leave. Given it’s only 2 weeks most organisations will help you out

Tell them now, you’re required to give 15 weeks notice

A coworker asked me to do something, I should have questioned it but did it because I trusted their seniority. I got called out for it by our boss on an email. Should I say something?
