The work-life balance directive states that paternity leave must be compensated at least at the level of sick pay. Thankfully, in Ireland we are moving towards having sick pay that will be 70% of workers' wages. Will the Commissioner confirm that once we have legislated for sick pay, it means that we must have paternity pay in this country of at least 70% of workers' wages?
