Español.V was fired for being DV victim - asks if there is law to protect her
NOTE: WE HAVE WORKPLACE PROTECTIONS AS A SEPARATE SECTION FOR VARIOUS STATES UNDER THE KNOW THE LAWS SECTION - CHECK THERE FIRST TO SEE IF WE HAVE IT. IF WE DON’T HAVE IT FOR HER STATE, THEN USED THIS SAMPLE LANG:
Although our website doesn’t have any info on workplace rights for your state, these type of workplace protections for domestic violence victims do exist in some states. I can’t say for sure if they exist in [SATE] or not. [NOTE: DO A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR WORKPLACE PROTECTIONS FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS AND HER STATE’S NAME TO SEE IF YOU CAN FIND ANYTHING - ALSO, LEGALMOMEMTUM.ORG HAS A CHART (BUT IT MAY NOT BE UPDATED) THAT TALKS ABOUT PROTECTIONS BY STATE IN VARIOUS CATEGORIES: UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS, BEING FIRED, MISSING WORK FOR COURT, ETC - YOU HAVE TO CHECK THROUGH EACH ONE SEPARATELY TO SEE IF HER STATE APPEARS. IF YOU FIND ANYTHING, TELL HER WHAT YOU FOUND AND STILL HAVE HER CHECK WITH A LAWYER] However, you may want to contact the [STATE] Coalition Against Domestic Violence to ask if there is a particular law that would protect you in your situation. Here is their contact information:
