William C. “Trey” Thomas III Quoted in Los Angeles Times

Trey Thomas was quoted in the article, "On Benefits, Gay Couples Already Covered," published May 18, 2008 by Los Angeles Times.

The article reported on how the California Supreme Court decision legalizing marriage for same-sex couples raises workplace issues that companies need to consider.

Trey noted, "Employers will need to be mindful of how this shift in California law, as it pertains to gay marriage, might impact policies and procedures that are already in place." He explained, "Businesses that have traditionally allowed just-married employees to take time off for their honeymoon would have to extend that benefit to same-sex couples." Trey concluded, "In many cases, it may not involve a policy change… it may just be a matter of how individuals are treated under existing policy."
