Could someone please shed some light on the paternity policy in Capgemini and EY at Director grade? Is it the same in Capgemini Invent?

I believe paternity at EY increased to 1 month full pay in recent years.

Do any consultancies offer paid paternity leave from day one or do you usually need to work there for some time before being able to take it?

It is prob similar to Accenture. My mate was at PwC and it was similar. SPL but topped up to full pay. So you and your wife get like 39 paid weeks to share and the remaining 13 unpaid (or paid at maternity pay for her).

Most B4 and ACN have something like that. They will roughly match each other.

It’s not clear to me, lol. My *lowest* number of revisions of the SPL form was 7. It is impossible to get right the first time😂
But basically just take as much time as you’re willing to sign for. They just want your signature on the form. They are not trying to be tight on the time or the money tbh. It’s a bad look and there is no legal way to check it across companies (multiple MDs have said this exact thing to me).
One awkward detail buried in the form for Accenture is that your SPL has to be taken in chunks of 12 weeks or more at a time. So you can’t dip in and out. But you can start it later. You have to do the first 2 weeks (this is statutory pat leave) but you can then wait before you start your SPL.
Some people do this if wife is confident with newborn (and has mum or sister around etc) as there is not much for dad to do other than run the household).
I have never personally been convinced by this. It is pretty intense with the brand new baby and the thought of trying to work whilst your wife is dealing with that (and recovery from delivery) does not seem like a good idea to me. But different cultures and families have different norms. Also note you accrue annual leave whilst on pat leave so you’ll come back with like a load of weeks to burn

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
