Mayo has offered domestic partnership benefits to employees who are in same-sex relationships since 2000, but the policy includes a provision that employees living in states that have legalized same-sex marriages must get married to retain those benefits. Same-sex couples are able to marry legally in Minnesota beginning today.
Mayo has not established a deadline by which same-sex partners must marry, according to the report.
Mayo’s same-sex domestic partnership benefits are also available for its employees in Florida and Arizona, but same-sex marriage is not legal in those states. The system does not offer domestic partnership benefits to couples of opposite sexes, according to the report.
