A new Domestic Violence Leave law (RCW 49.76) passed by the 2008 Legislature allows victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking to take reasonable leave from work — paid or unpaid — to take care of legal or law enforcement needs and obtain health care. Family members of a victim may also take reasonable leave to help the victim obtain treatment or seek help.
