This special report has a focus on domestic violence, including the issues that arise when the victim is a former household member rather than a spouse or romantic partner, and a discussion of new legislation allowing for leave from work (for court hearings, doctor visits, etc.) to address domestic violence concerns in the employee’s personal life.
