Family Violence Leave
Employers’ Obligations

Under the Labour Standards Act, employees are entitled to 3 days of paid leave and 7 days of unpaid Family Violence Leave. These days may be used to seek medical attention or counselling, move house, enter a shelter, seek legal counsel, or access the justice system or other professional services.

An employee must be employed for more than 30 days to be eligible for this leave

You may request a note to confirm the purpose of this leave

You are legally bound to keep all information regarding IPV leave confidential

An employee cannot be fired for asking for or receiving this leave

IPV leave qualifies as “protected leave,” meaning you must return the employee to working conditions that are not less favourable

Unused days expire at the end of each year and do not accrue

Relevant managers in your company are aware of this important benefit and know how to respond to requests for this leave.

Does your workplace have a policy to address IPV? Organizations such as Violence Prevention Avalon East offer Workplace Bystander Awareness training, and the St. John’s Status of Women’s Council provides individualized Equity at Work consultations.

Posters on Workers’ Rights and Employer Obligations have been circulated with stakeholder organizations.

Family Violence Leave
Worker Rights

In 2019, the Labour Standards Act was amended to recognize family violence and intimate partner violence (IPV). This leave may be used by those who are directly impacted, or who are the parents or caregivers of children affected by family violence.

Employees are entitled to 3 days of paid leave and 7 days of unpaid leave. These days may be used to seek medical attention or counselling, move house, enter a shelter, seek legal counsel, or access the justice system or other professional services.
