AN ACT relating to leave from employment.

Summary

The bill adds protections so employees who are victims of a crime, or their immediate family members, cannot be fired or retaliated against for taking time off to attend court or investigative hearings. Employers must be given reasonable notice and must keep the request confidential, and they may require the use of accrued paid leave. Violations can result in civil penalties, reinstatement, back pay and attorney fees.
