How paternity leave entitlement changed
MOM states that eligible working fathers can enjoy up to 4 weeks of Government-Paid Paternity Leave. For a child born, estimated, or formally intended for adoption on or after 1 April 2025, the entitlement is 4 weeks. Before that date, it is 2 weeks, with additional voluntary weeks depending on employer policy.

- Does not submit a GPPL claim.
Worked examples
Child born after 1 Apr 2025
A 5-day workweek gives 20 GPPL working days.
6-day workweek
4 weeks gives 24 GPPL days because MOM caps at 6 working days per week.
Before 1 Apr 2025
Base entitlement is 2 weeks under the old rule.
