Hi

Does anyone know if a person(father) on tier 1 general can take paternity leave and would just an employer letter be enough to confirm that the employee took paternity leave for 6 weeks+4 weeks annual leave?

Yes, as long as it is statutory paternity pay involved.

I think you should contact your employer, for example the pay office if they have one.
