Say hello
to a long, paid parental leave
The CA Parental Leave Package
relaxingSay goodbye
to all your parental leave anxiety
Kidding! It probably won’t be relaxing, but you definitely can relax in knowing you will get the longest paid, job-protected leave possible.
The CA Parental leave Package
If you live in CA and want to make sure you are maxing out all of your job-protected and paid time off when you go on parental leave, this is the solution for you.
Along with a 45-minute private call with one of The Park’s parental leave consultants, you’ll also get the California parental leave benefits guide to reference throughout your leave planning journey, a personalized timeline for you and your partner, and unlimited email access to me. It’s everything you need to get the longest, paid parental leave possible.
Get ready to feel like a huge weight has been lifted off your shoulders. I promise!
What you’ll get:
This will not be your typical call with HR. Get ready to laugh, relax, and maybe even cry…but like in a good way ☺️
You and one of The Park’s parental leave consultants will talk through:
✔️ all the nuances of CA’s parental leave benefit programs
✔️ how your company’s parental leave program (if you have one) integrates in with disability and paid family leave
✔️ how to extend your parental leave and max out your paid and unpaid time off
✔️ how, where, and when to apply for your California benefits
✔️ why you need job protection, what programs you qualify for, and how to get it if you don’t qualify
✔️ your and your partner’s parental leave timeline
✔️ how to communicate your parental leave plan with your boss and HR
After our call I’ll email you a recap and any necessary action items.

Personalized Parental Leave Timeline
You’ll get a personalized parental leave timeline based on your employer’s parental leave policy (if they offer one) and all the state and federal benefits you qualify for. Share it with HR. I think they’ll be impressed.
A 35-page e-book that walks you through every benefit you might qualify as a new parent in Ca. It explains who qualifies, when to apply, how to find out how much you'll get paid, and includes 2 full pages of FAQs from real questions from The Park community members.

Since I started The Park in 2021 I’ve worked with hundred of new and expecting parents to get them the longest paid parental leave possible. I’ve done all the research so you don’t have to.
The CA Parental Leave package is everything you need so you can focus on you and your family, not complicated forms and confusing legal jargon.
Worried you need more time with me or want me to sign up for your benefits for you? Check out the Big CA Parental Leave Package :)
How would it feel to know you are getting the longest, paid parental leave possible?
“Thank you for the consultation call a few months ago. I’m transitioning from my SDI to my PFL now and I feel so prepared and knowledgeable about this process. I’m one step ahead of the EDD at every stage 😂 .
In total, I’ll get 17 weeks paid for a total $24,500.
A lot more than I could have imagined!”

“I wholeheartedly recommend working with Linzay! I found navigating the whole parental leave process utterly confusing and intimidating, and Linzay answered all my questions and completely put me at ease.”

Not sure if the Parental Leave Package is right for you?
-
California offers two different paid parental leave programs:
State Disability Insurance (SDI)
Paid Family Leave (PFL)
To qualify for either program you need to have CASDI listed as a deduction on your paystub five to 18 months before your claim date, which is your first day of leave.
Need help determining if you qualify? Head here to find out.
-
Yes! You don’t need to be working to qualify for SDI and PFL. If you’ve worked in the last two years as a W2 employee in CA, paying into CASDI I can help you get paid for a minimum of 17 weeks, and likely more if you’re pregnant or recently gave birth, or if you’re a dad or non-birthing parents I can help you get at least 8 weeks of partially paid leave!
If you haven’t worked in over two years you likely will not qualify for SDI or PFL.
-
I 100% understand. On average, my clients make $19,890 over the course of their parental leave.
If you want to be sure you’ll make enough to cover the cost of this program, you can calculate your parental leave payout here.
If the pricing still does not work for you, email me and we can work something out. Or check out my pay-what-you can guide. I want anyone who wants to max out their parental leave benefits be able to.

I offer 4 different options for new and expecting parents:
One private consulting call. I recommend this option for those outside of CA.
The Guide: Navigating Parental Leave in Ca. I recommend this for new and expecting parents in CA who are familiar with CA’s benefits, have an uncomplicated job history and do have a supportive, education HR person leading them.
The CA Parental Leave Package. This is my most popular package for new and expecting parents in CA. The package offers a consulting call, the guide, a personalized parental leave timeline, and unlimited email support.
The Ca OMG Package. This is the package for busy people who need someone to help keep everything on track for them and want to ensure they are getting the longest parental leave possible and the most amount of pay possible.
