Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

family relationship

A coworker recruited his roommate to his dept.

One man was promoted and now schedules and evaluates his longtime partner.

Company policy forbids family members to supervise each other.

Does ''family'' apply to male partners, in a committed relaionship?

This situation affects others as they change hours to allow commuting and vacations together.
