Why Dads Hesitate To Take Paternity Leave?
If you are not one of those unlucky dads who were 'travelling' when their baby was born, then you would know that it is a very special experience. Now that dads get to see the birth of their baby first hand, it is a really enriching experience for them. But the frenzy of welcoming a baby to the house doesn't end as soon as the baby is born. That is why; there is something called paternity leave that is given to new dads nowadays.
Paternity leave is still a new concept in most organistaions. That is why; most new dads are confused how much paternity leave they are entitled to take. The debate however is not whether you get paid paternity leave or not. It is still a 50-50 scenario in most organisation.
Your company is not compelled to give you paternity leave while maternity leave is compulsory. However, it has been seen that most dads shy away from taking paternity leave even if it is given to them.
Why is that men are reluctant to take paternity leave even when it is paid? Here are some reasons that you can take a look at.
Official
Hegemony
Most
organisations
offer
paternity
leave
but
do
not
encourage
employees
to
take
it.
Dads
suffer
from
anxiety
that
taking
a
long
off
from
work
will
make
their
boss
and
colleagues
think
that
they
are
not
committed
to
the
job.
Urgent
Projects
Many
a
times,
dads
have
to
return
to
work
sooner
that
they
had
planned
because
the
baby
comes
unexpectedly
when
they
have
some
pressing
work
in
office.
If
the
birth
of
your
baby
does
not
coincide
with
your
planned
paternity
leave,
there
might
be
some
issues.
The
Pay
How
much
paternity
leave
you
can
take
also
depends
on
whether
or
not
it
is
paid
for.
If
you
have
paid
leave,
then
you
can
easily
take
it.
But
if
you
have
to
take
the
break
out
of
your
earned
leaves,
then
most
people
would
be
reluctant.
You might not take off from work because you feel you are now responsible for providing for the family. But you will surely regret it later. At least a week of paternity leave is justified when your baby is born. If you have the privilege of paid leave, then you can extend it to two weeks so that you can settle the new mommy at home with the baby comfortably.
