Pennsylvania HB964 provides employment leave and protections for employees and their families affected by violence.

Pennsylvania HB964, known as the Victims of Violence Safe Employment Act, allows employees and their family members to take leave from work if they are victims of domestic violence, sexual violence, stalking, or abuse of a vulnerable adult. Employers must provide reasonable accommodations to ensure safety and well-being. The act prohibits employers from taking retaliatory actions against employees who exercise their rights under the act. Employers are required to display notices about the act's provisions and maintain employee health insurance coverage during leave.
