Comment on Massachusetts Senate passes bill requiring employers to give time off to victims of domestic violence by Matt Stone

Matt Stone — Thu, 27 May 2010 20:20:58 +0000

I am glad to see that this issue has been brought to light. For far too long abuse victims have felt that they can get no compassionate support from work and are often ashamed of their situation. Hopefully the bill will pass and Corporations and Companies will follow up on this disconcerning matter helping more than the law requires, with understanding and patience.

If enacted as written, the legislation is likely to lead to confusion on the part of employees on where to file and what limitations period applies. For instance, the bill appears to retain the 180 day limitations period for complaints filed at the CHRO yet significantly expands the limitations period to 2 years for employees who choose to file in court.

I would like to find out where this legislation stands for now. Will it be acted upon in the near future. I just saw an article referencing this in the Wall Street Journal.

Thank you.
