What does that mean for an employer? Review your benefits plans to ensure you have accounted for this new ruling! The impact may differ from state to state with respect to benefits. One note, regardless of where an employee lives, s/he will be entitled to take leave under FMLA to care for a legally married same - sex spouse.
