Employees who are victims of a crime or whose immediate family member (i.e., spouse,
child or stepchild, sibling or step-sibling; parent or stepparent) is a crime victim may take
time off work to appear in court to attend judicial proceedings related to that crime,
provided that the time off from work is used to attend judicial proceedings related to a
violent felony, serious felony or felony theft or embezzlement.
Prior to taking leave, you must provide your supervisor or manager with a copy of the
notice of each scheduled proceeding, which has been provided to you by the pertinent
government agency.
Leave For Any Proceeding Involving Victim’s Rights
Employees who are crime victims of certain covered offenses or the spouses, parents,
children, siblings or guardians of crime victims of such covered offenses may take time
off work upon request to appear in court to be heard at any proceeding in which a right
of the victim is at issue.
A victim for this purpose is defined as any person who suffers direct or threatened
physical, psychological, or financial harm as a result of the commission or attempted
commission of a crime or a delinquent act.
You must provide the Company with reasonable advance notice of your intention to take
time off.
Crime Victims’ Leave is unpaid. You may use accrued sick time or vacation for this
purpose, as well as unpaid leave time. The Company will, to the extent possible,
maintain the confidentiality of an employee requesting leave under this provision.
