SAFE for Survivors Act of 2024
The SAFE for Survivors Act of 2024 establishes new protections for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. It creates a 40-day safe leave entitlement (10 paid days) for victims to address safety needs like legal assistance, medical care, relocation, and financial services. The law prohibits employment discrimination against victims, requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations, and ensures victims can access unemployment benefits and insurance protections without discrimination. These provisions apply to all employers and insurers, with enforcement through the Department of Labor and Federal Trade Commission.
