Employees who are the victims of domestic violence, or whose family or household member is a victim of domestic violence are allowed to take no more than 160 hours of leave from work in one 12-month period. The time off can be used to for medical care relating to the violence, to obtain counseling or assistance, to participate in court proceedings, or to establish a safety plan. Employers have the discretion to grant the leave either paid or unpaid but cannot deny the leave. Employers cannot require an employee to find a replacement or retaliate against an employer. The employer may require the employee taking the leave to provide documentation that confirm or support the reason. Documentation may include:
• A police report
• Copy of an application for a protection order

• Documentation from a physician
