Summary
Employment; leave for crime victims to attend criminal proceedings.
Requires employers to allow an employee who is a victim of a crime to leave
work, without compensation, to exercise his right to be present at criminal
proceedings relating to the crime. An employer may limit the leave if it
creates an undue hardship. Employers are prohibited from dismissing or
otherwise discriminating against an employee who is a victim of a crime because
he exercises the right to leave work. An employee may seek to recover actual or
punitive damages, including back pay with interest, or injunctive relief, as a
result of an employer's violation of this measure.
