September 3, 2015
The Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Hsien Loong, has announced that paternity leave is to be doubled from one week to two weeks. Initially, offering this additional paternity leave will be optional for employers, but where it is offered eligible fathers will receive paternity pay from the state. In the future this extra paternity leave will become mandatory.
