Male employees entitled to paternity leave

Claris Ogangah

QUESTION: I run a consultancy firm with a few employees. Recently the issue of paternity leave came up and I would like the following clarifications. Is paternity leave allowed like once a year for employees or as many times as one can go, especially for fathers in polygamous marriages? Is this leave for 14 working days or for two weeks inclusive of weekends, and are all companies implementing this policy?
