During this session, we will post answers to questions around leave laws for victims of domestic or sexual violence and share tips on how organizations can achieve legal compliance while showing compassion and understanding for their employees during such difficult times.
Also, don't forget about our table that summarizes key portions of state domestic violence leave laws. This table provides a one-stop-shop for you to track the growing number of jurisdictions offering this type of leave and provides an overview of their requirements.
A number of states and municipalities have also enacted paid sick time laws containing "safe time" provisions to protect workers. A good resource for state and municipal paid sick time laws can be found at A Better Balance and check "Can sick time be used for specific 'safe time' purposes (related to domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking)?"
