Under FMLA, an employee can take time off to care for an immediate family member with a serious health condition. The U.S. Department of Labor defines immediate family member (for FMLA purposes) as a son, daughter, spouse, or parent. Domestic partners are not spouses or relatives under the FMLA.
What Are Domestic Partnerships? Domestic partners are unmarried couples, of the same or opposite sex, who live together and seek economic and noneconomic benefits comparable to those granted their married counterparts. In California, D.C., Nevada, Oregon, and Washington state, domestic partnership status is offered and regulated by the state and grants some or all of the rights and responsibilities of marriage. Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois and New Jersey do the same, but call it civil unions instead of domestic partnership.
