Bereaved Partner’s Paternity Leave - April 2026

Changing your intended return date

If you wish to change the return-to-work date that you confirmed in your last notice, you will need to give your line manager written notice, as follows:

•    If the return date in your last notice is within the first eight weeks after the bereavement, you should provide at least one week's written notice before your original return date and your new return date.
•    If the return date in your last notice is more than eight weeks after the bereavement, you should provide at least eight weeks' written notice before your original return date and your new return date.

Once your change of return-to-work date has been agreed with your line manager you should cancel your original leave dates through My View via My Forms and submit your new dates.
