not yet been named.Considering nick grimshaw takes over his new night time show in less than 3 weeks shouldnt the radio one bosses have got their act togetehr and named his successor on weekend brekkie by now?!

Im betting on them getting Chappers and Dave to fil in till the usual september reshuffle-hardly fair expecting them to work 7 days a week all summer though!

[freddie]

Or will they ask Sara Cox to cover until the reshuffle, enabling Chappers and Dave to do the Lie-in until the new breakfast DJ is announced

[jocky85]

Just means lots of pre-recording for her! Shame she does that.

Athough who will be covering for Vernan when he's on paternity leave, assuming thats coming up? I suspect a few shifts heading Greg James' way!

[MonkeyMonger]

He isnt having the baby so he should have none.

[jocky85]

So Dom shouldn't have any time off either.........?

[S4B]

hey, hey, hey! Paternity leave is important for guys and the mums too!

[Johnny 1989]

He isnt having the baby so he should have none.

Why should he not? Paternity leave is important for families just starting out, I'd hate to have you as a manager if you feel that's the case for every new father whether it's their first or fourth child.

Wouldn't make any difference if he was your manager under those circumstances - providing paternity leave is a legal obligation of employers, they can't choose not to.

[Latina]

The title of this thread should be "New weekend breakfast DJ has..."

Am I right in thinking that the standard minimum paternity leave in the UK is for two weeks?

[Yudster]

I'm not sure - it certainly used to be two weeks, but there was talk that it would be changed to 2 weeks paid and the option of a further 4 weeks unpaid, I think. Not sure what it is at the moment.

For real? Wow this is unheard of over here.

Americans are so behind the times!

[ladbroke]

A week is plenty, after that work seems like a welcome break!

[freddie]

Isn't Nihal on paternity leave pretty soon as well.

[wireman2004]

it looks like we've got atleast a month of chappers and dave with nihal and possibly vernon.
I personally don't see vernon taking paternaty leave straight away due too his tv commitments. Much like chris did with his tv show.

[S4B]

Due TO not due TOO! Hmph! In fact I could tear that post apart but I will put the rest of the idiocy down to typos! HMPH!

*Takes her grammatical and spelling willy and walks away*

[bradcali]

Greg James is doing Nihals show on may 23 and 24,also Bobby Friction is doing the usual Bobby and Nihal show on his own next week -dont know if Nihals on paternity leave or not though

[drewbarrymore]

It'll be Greg. In fact if it's not I will eat my cyberspace hat.

Monkey Monger can I ask if you have any children yourself?

Actually as far as I remember, new fathers don't have to take the paternity leave as soon as the baby is born if they don't want to - thay can have it at any time in the first few months.

Compared to European law I think American employment legislation is a bit primitive in some areas. That's not to say I think that the UK and Europe have got it completely right you understand........
