You and your wife will have different leave entitlements, based on the number of days you work.

Your wife works a 5-day week, and you work a 6-day week.

Her maternity leave entitlement will be based on a 5-day week, while your paternity leave and shared parental leave entitlement is based on a 6-day work week.
