New Resource for Employers

The Corporate Resource Council at www.corporateresourcecouncil.org offers a series of informative "White Papers" aimed at employers who are considering changing the criteria for their employee benefit plans.

These research papers are designed to provide administrators with information about the social, economic and ethical issues involved when businesses recognize their employees' same-sex or nonmarital dometic partnerships as if they were equivalent to legal marriage.

Among the papers offered are:

Do Domestic Partner Benefits Make Good Sense?
Why Supporting Marriage Makes Business Sense
Answers to an Employer's Legal Questions about Domestic Partner Benefits and Sexual Orientation Nondiscrimination Policies
Behind the Rhetoric: The Social Goals of GLBT Advocacy in Corporate America
The Hidden Costs of Domestic Partner Benefits
The Health Risks of Gay Sex
