As of January 1, 2010, a father raising a child has the right to paternity leave. But statistics show that very few fathers use this right. In early September 2011, ISHF launched the portal www.urlopojcowski.info with the objective of inspiring men to become more involved in raising their own children, and informing of their rights. The project is co-financed by the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy.

The information about paternity leave are presented in attractive form and supported by reliable legal advice, useful applications and the ability to access the ” father experiences” of other parents. Although the Foundation directs Paternity Leave website primarily to working fathers, it offers some useful advices for working moms and employers seeking current data in the field of labor legislation.

The portal provides a number of useful tools for employees and employers, such as paternity and maternity leave calculator and model applications to download and fill.
