Domestic violence leave is a type of leave from work that is specifically designed to assist employees who have been victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. In California, the Domestic Violence Leave Act of 2013 entitles eligible employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave per year for these purposes.
Domestic violence leave can be used for a variety of purposes, including seeking medical attention, obtaining legal assistance, or finding safe housing. It is important for employers to be aware of the Domestic Violence Leave Act and to provide support to employees who need to take leave under this law.
