In this scenario, is there a way to handle the promotions such that no one is upset? I can't think of one. Maybe put them on different tracks -- those who took "parental flexibility" can get promoted, but it occurs later, and the money saved from that deferred promotion gets given to the singles who put in extra time/effort? Not sure, just brainstorming.

Now you're in what is probably textbook discrimination territory.

Caregivers are not covered under federal law, but apparently they are under some state and city law.

But how far do you take this? Is not getting a promotion penalization if your coworkers are more likely to be able to participate in work that garners praise?
