Re: FMLA and Domestic Partners

When an employer adopts a policy that grants benefits not required by law, the employer may impose any conditions it chooses, as long as it does not restrict rights employees are otherwise entitled to, or applied in a discriminatory manner.

As to the specifics of any policy you wish to implement, it would be wise to pay an attorney to spend the time to review your existing policies and that which you propose, to make sure all labor laws are complied with.
