Accommodating a Victim

All employers are required to provide reasonable accommodations for an employee who is a victim of a qualifying act of violence who requests an accommodation for their safety while working.

Additionally, effective January 1, 2025, the law was expanded so that employers must also provide accommodations for an employee whose family member is a victim of qualifying act of violence.

An employer is not required to provide a reasonable accommodation where the employee has not disclosed their status, or the their family member’s status, as a victim.²
