EMPLOYERS MUST PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION TO NEW WORKERS


WHEN HIRED AND TO OTHER WORKERS WHO ASK FOR IT

RIGHTS OF VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE,


SEXUAL ASSAULT AND STALKING
Your Right to Take Time Off:
 You have the right to take time off from work to get help to protect you and your
children’s health, safety or welfare. You can take time off to get a restraining order or
other court order.
 If your company has 25 or more workers, you can take time off from work to get medical
attention or services from a domestic violence shelter, program or rape crisis center,
psychological counseling, or receive safety planning related to domestic violence,
sexual assault, or stalking.
 You may use available vacation, personal leave, accrued paid sick leave or
compensatory time off for your leave unless you are covered by a union agreement
that says something different. Even if you don’t have paid leave, you still have the right
to time off.
 In general, you don’t have to give your employer proof to use leave for these reasons.
 If you can, you should tell your employer before you take time off. Even if you cannot
tell your employer before, your employer cannot discipline you if you give proof
explaining the reason for your absence within a reasonable time. Proof can be a police
report, court order or doctor’s or counselor’s note or similar document.
Your Right to Reasonable Accommodation:
 You have the right to ask your employer for help or changes in your workplace to make
sure you are safe at work. Your employer must work with you to see what changes
can be made. Changes in the workplace may include putting in locks, changing your
shift or phone number, transferring or reassigning you, or help with keeping a record of
what happened to you. Your employer can ask you for a signed statement certifying
that your request is for a proper purpose, and may also request proof showing your
need for an accommodation. Your employer cannot tell your coworkers or anyone else
about your request.
Your Right to Be Free from Retaliation and Discrimination:
Your employer cannot treat you differently or fire you because:
 You are a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
 You asked for leave time to get help.
 You asked your employer for help or changes in the workplace to make sure you are
safe at work.

You can file a complaint with the Labor Commissioner’s Office against your employer if
he/she retaliates or discriminates against you.

requests or uses a reasonable accommodation.

a need for a reasonable accommodation.

or applicant did not request or chooses not to accept or to take leave from employment
