New Crime Victim Paid Leave Policy Passes Out of Committee
On May 14th, the Social Services and Public Safety Committee passed a new Crime Victim Paid Leave policy for LFUCG staff.
Crime Victim Paid Leave provides paid time off for employees who are victims of violent crime, including but not limited to domestic and sexual violence, who need time off for mental health counseling, or to attend court dates and other legal proceedings related to a violent crime case.
Employees would be entitled to 56 hours of Crime Victim Paid Leave.
Unused hours would not accrue or carry over into the next year.
Employees would be required to submit documentation justifying their leave at least two business days after they have used leave hours.
You can review the proposed ordinance and paid leave starting on 26 of this packet.
The Crime Victim Paid Leave policy will come before the full Council sometime in June for its next vote.
