What is Statutory Paternity Pay?
Statutory Paternity Pay (SPP) is the minimum amount a UK employer must pay a qualifying employee taking paternity leave. It is paid for up to two weeks at £194.32 per week or 90% of average weekly earnings, whichever is lower. The two weeks can be taken in one block or split into two single weeks at any point during the 52 weeks after the birth.
