Peruvian law mandates a 10-day paternity leave for fathers following the birth of their child. This benefit provides ten consecutive calendar days of paid leave, beginning on the date of the child’s birth. The legislation aims to support new fathers and promote shared parental responsibility. This is one of several benefits available to working parents in Peru. Details regarding other licenses and benefits for working parents are available through official government channels. The law intends to facilitate fathers’ involvement in early childcare and family bonding. Further information on eligibility and application processes can be obtained from relevant labor authorities.
