What If there is no pay cut and every employee gets the same 6 weeks time off whether you have kids or not. If employees are willing to work for those 6 weeks they will be paid extra. This should be a win-win solution.
I as a non parent, I'm struggling with being locked down for longer duration. With almost none social and dating life. I used to eat company catered meals before covid and now I have to spend extra hours doing it all by myself and no one to share the work load with. I wish I could take time off from work, visit my family back home or work on finding my future partner. But our manager looks up to us non-parents to meet our OKR's. So yeah, being a non-parent in this pandemic is hard. So please don't disregard our struggles just because you were non-parents before and you think all we do is chill and play xbox.

If employees are willing to work for those 6 weeks they will be paid extra. This should be a win-win solution. This is the only way to do it, by my estimation, but how do you divvy this up? Does everyone just get 6 weeks off per year? I think that's a tough wrinkle, actually.
