If I am subpoenaed to testify in a domestic violence case, can my employer fire me?

If you are absent from work because you were ordered by the court (subpoenaed) to testify in court in a domestic violence case, then your employer cannot fire you for your absence. This applies whether you were the victim of domestic violence or a witness to domestic violence. You also cannot be fired based on what you said during your testimony in court.1
