A new bill passed in Northern Ireland will provide employees who are victims of domestic abuse with the right to up to ten days of paid leave a year, to be known as "safe leave".
The Bill provides a framework which includes:
• Safe leave will be available to all employees from the first day of their employment, without any qualifying service requirement.
• The leave is intended to be used for issues relating to the abuse, which could include (but is not limited to) obtaining legal advice, finding alternative accommodation, taking advantage of healthcare, obtaining welfare support and protecting family members.
• An employee on safe leave will be entitled to the benefit of their usual terms and conditions. Safe leave may be taken at the same time as other family-related leave.
