The HR professional should explain to the supervisor that equal employment opportunity requires that access to benefits not be limited by sex. Asking if Mario's wife can take care of their child assumes that women are the primary caregivers and could be considered discrimination based on gender. By reminding the supervisor of the company's obligation to provide equal access to benefits for all employees, regardless of sex or gender, the HR professional can help address the situation and ensure that Mario is able to take the time off he needs to care for his child.
