Would it still be illegal if it's based on time? Like I'll make this up but suppose their policy was men get 2 weeks paternity leave, but women get 2 months maternity. It might actually make sense then.
Surely there's a legal way to carry on fucking women over.
I don't think it is unreasonable to tell a man or a woman that if you take 3-6 months off that someone else might take your role.
But they're not telling men that, only women. And that is unreasonable no matter how hard you struggle to justify it.
I would hope if a man had enough babies fast enough his stacked leave would leave his position in limbo.
All the policies I have seen provide X amount of time per year for parental/maternal leave not per child.
Damn. You've ruined my plans.
