Alfanla, who spoke briefly while addressing journalists within the school domain, said the paternity leave for male staff was recently approved and in the university’s recently amended Conditions of Service.

According to the Registrar, the inclusion of paternity leave is a crucial improvement to the university’s working conditions, aligning with a contemporary work culture that values the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

”Paternity Leave is for serving male officers whose spouse delivers a baby. The period of the leave shall be 14 working days.

“Where the family of a male officer adopts a child under four months old, the officer will similarly enjoy paternity leave for a period of 14 working days,” he said.

Alfanla highlighted the importance of getting familiar with and strictly adhering to the modified terms and conditions for staff members at the university.
