These State Laws Don’t Care What The Federal Government Decides

Victims Of Domestic Violence Will Get Protected Timed Off From Work

Federal law does not require employees to be paid for time not worked, such as vacations, sick leave or federal or other holidays. This is usually something worked out between an employee and employer, and often times employees get screwed. But voters in Nevada decided that this freedom for the employer to choose should not apply to domestic abuse victims. They just passed a law that requires employers to grant up to 160 hours of sick leave to employees who are victims of domestic violence or have family members that are victims.
