It's not quite that civilized in here...so that would be a no. I know men who have postponed their annual leave to use it as paternity leave, and also some who have requested unpaid leave. This, of course, isn't always feasible or allowed by the company, and even then it would only amount to a few weeks.

Forget paternity leave when even the legal maternity leave is, wait for it...maximum 50 days including any time taken off before the birth!
