Parenting is not limited to motherhood, and AIUB recognizes the importance of the involvement and care of a father that is essential for the proper upbringing of a child. All male academic and administrative employees are provided the support of paternity leave so that they can give the time and attention to their children as well as the new mother during and after pregnancy. The provision fosters an inclusive and accommodating workplace that welcomes fathers into parenthood. AIUB ensures that male employees can provide direct care to their spouse/ newborn babies. The paternity benefits are offered to permanent male employees of AIUB in the form of paid leave.
