Workplace Protections

Is it legal if my employer harasses me or tells co-workers about my situation?

Your employer cannot fire you, harass you, or punish you in any way, for asking for this time off or for taking this time off.

Also, the law requires your employer to keep your domestic violence or sexual assault situation confidential.1 For example, your employer cannot tell your co-workers, your clients, or other employers that you took time off to deal with domestic violence. Your employer also cannot talk about or write about (disclose) the reason for your time off.1
