Bill Summary
Ensuring domestic violence victims' protections for all employees in the Commonwealth
AI Summary
This bill aims to expand the protections afforded to victims of domestic violence in the workplace by including not only employees, but also contract workers. Specifically, the bill amends existing law to define "client employer" as a business entity that obtains workers from a third party, such as a staffing agency, and "contract worker" as an individual who performs labor or services for a client employer but is not considered an employee under state law. The bill then requires both employers and client employers to permit employees and contract workers to take leave from work to address issues related to domestic violence.
