Report Link States Adding Protections For Victims Of Crime And Domestic Violence.Fisher & Phillips, LLP - February 07, 2008 In 1999, California and Maine became among the first states to enact statutes providing protection or leave to employees who were victims of domestic violence. Since that time, a number of states have followed suit. As examples, during the last year, Florida, Kansas, and Oregon have either enacted or amended statutes to provide greater protections to employees who are victims of domestic violence. Report Link Battered Women's Rights Becoming a Focus of Many States.Elarbee, Thompson, Sapp & Wilson, LLP. - December 20, 2007 In a 2005 national survey conducted by the Corporate Alliance to End Partner Violence, 21% of full-time employed adults identified themselves as victims of domestic violence. Similarly, the Department of Justice estimates that 13,000 acts of domestic violence are committed in the workplace each year, with homicide remaining the leading cause of death of women in the workplace. Faced with these statistics, employers can no longer afford to operate under the notion that “domestic” violence happens at home. In fact, lawmakers in several states have begun enacting legislation mandating that employers provide leave to victims of domestic violence who need time off to get their lives back together. As such, employers may face increasing liability for failing to accommodate domestic abuse victims.
