WomensLaw serves and supports all survivors, no matter their sex or gender.
The law doesn’t specifically say how much advance notice you need to give your employer before taking domestic abuse leave. However, the law does make it clear that if you need to use your domestic abuse leave in an emergency, you must notify your employer within twenty-four hours of starting your leave.1
