State Law Guide - DOMESTIC AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE WORKPLACE POLICIES

Several states now require all state agencies to adopt workplace policies on domestic violence; some of these specifically reference sexual assault and/or stalking as well. Other states have passed laws, issued executive orders, or established government task forces to create model workplace policies for voluntary adoption by public and private employers. Many leading corporations have already adopted such policies. Some states have proposed legislation that would provide monetary incentives for private employers to adopt such policies or to institute domestic and/or sexual violence awareness and training programs at their worksites. This fact sheet tracks legislation or government initiatives requiring or encouraging public and/or private employers to adopt domestic and sexual violence policies.
