Paternity leave question

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right place but thought I'd give it a go.

My husband had to leave his job as he was going to be made redundant, so found another job.

He started the new job yesterday - I am currently 29 weeks pregnant - so as I have read on the hmrc website this means he doesn't qualify for paternity leave.

Is he entitled to anything once the baby is here (time off or money)

Thanks

    The standard 13 weeks unpaid parental leave.
