While state requirements vary, qualifying reasons for domestic violence leave often include time off to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-brightmine-list-item-spacing-small\">\n<li class=\"\">Seek a court order, attend court or obtain legal services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Obtain medical care, counseling or victim services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">To secure one\u2019s home or relocate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Other reasons<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Complying with the domestic violence leave laws can be time-consuming and complex. To start, employers must understand which state requirements apply and how domestic violence leave laws interact with wither types of leave and employer-provided benefits, all while supporting an employee navigating a particularly sensitive life event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The chart below shows which states require leave related to domestic violence. Note that the chart is specific to domestic violence leave. Depending on an employee\u2019s situation, other leave requirements may apply (e.g., court attendance leave, crime victim leave, paid leave for any reason).
