What is the name of your state? North Carolina
My base issue is small, and probably not worth it, but I figured I would try anyway. Here is goes...
In my employee handbook, under description for health benefit eligibility the statement that concerns me is this:
"Eligible dependents are defined as the employee's legal spouse as defined by the state of residence, or the employee's same gender domestic partner, and the partner's children..."
Too me this reads, because I am not a homosexual I cannot get insurance for my girlfriend of 4 years, whom I own a house with, have joint checking accounts and share the same automobile insurance... I do not need a piece of paper to prove I love this person. I also do not need the tax hit by being married... I feel as this is discrimination. Is it worth pursueing further with HR or the insurance company.
My Girlfriend does not have insurance at her current job, and I would like to add her mine...
What do I do?
