My company’s maternity leave is 16 weeks fully paid, and paternity leave is 6 weeks fully paid. Is that normal? Seems weird or illegal or something, idk was just surprised

Not illegal. Fairly normal. Most companies don’t even offer paternity leave and if they do it’s much shorter than maternity leave.

Ours is 8 weeks short term disability fully paid when you deliver then 8 weeks parental leave is offered to both mothers and fathers.
So for a non- delivering partner (e.g. dads), that’s 8 weeks paid parental leave.
For the person that delivers, it’s a total of 16 weeks paid leave (8 from STD, 8 from parental).

Parental leave is about bonding with your child as well as the emotional and physical recovery of having a child. Men really only need the time for the first one. To me 16 weeks isn't enough for all 3. There is nothing illegal about it
