Description
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. Read the Bill »
