My boss wants to give employees that give birth (i.e. only females), 6 weeks paid time off from work but only 2 weeks paid time off for the fathers. This is generous and obviously above the required policies, but those arguments aside, is it even legal to offer a two tiered benefit like that for male / female? I don't think it is, but I thought I would ask and where I can find that information.
Any help is appreciated.
thanks,

I would look on the CA state website; under SDI obviously but also under CFRA rights for fathers. Fathers do have distinct right for the birth/adoption of a child. State/Federal law allows them 12 weeks which they can use straight through or intermittently.
I would definitely do some serious research before the above goes in writing!

| Illegal. Different benefits and different treatment are OK just so it's not based on a protected category (of which of course gender is one) and it doesn't disproportionately impact a protected group.
