Crime Victim Leave
After an employee has been employed by Lupin for three or more months, the employee may take
up to three days of unpaid leave during any twelve-month period if the employee, a family member,
or household member is the victim of domestic violence or sexual violence. Family or household
member means spouses, former spouses, persons related by blood or marriage, persons who are
presently residing together as if a family or who have resided together in the past as if a family,
and persons who are parents of a child in common regardless of whether they have been married.
Employees may request such leave in order to seek an injunction for protection, obtain medical
care and/or mental health counseling, obtain services from a victim services organization, make
the employee’s home secure from the perpetrator or seek new housing to escape the perpetrator,
seek legal assistance in addressing issues arising from the act of domestic or sexual violence or
attend and prepare for court-related proceedings arising from the act of domestic or sexual
violence.
An employee seeking leave from work must provide notice to Lupin as soon as practicable, except
in cases of imminent danger to the health or safety of the employee or a family or household
member. At Lupin’s request, the employee must provide sufficient documentation of the act of
domestic or sexual violence. All information regarding the employee’s leave will be kept
confidential. An employee will not be terminated, demoted, or in any other manner discriminated
against by Lupin for exercising his or her right to this leave.
