Support leave due to domestic violence is a new insurance benefit for individuals experiencing violence in intimate relationships. It helps companies support their employees so they can change their circumstances without fearing loss of income.
It matters that companies are able to support their employees when it truly counts.
People experiencing domestic violence may hesitate to change their circumstances, partly out of fear of having to take time off work. With the addition of support leave, Vörður aims to make it easier for companies to respond responsibly and support their employees during difficult times.
Companies can now receive compensation for paid leave granted to employees who need time off while changing their circumstances due to domestic violence. This protection is included at no additional cost in Accident Insurance for Employees, Accident Insurance, Health and Accident Insurance, and Crew Insurances.
The workplace can play a key role when individuals affected by violence decide to take their first steps toward safety and freedom. It is therefore crucial that employers support their staff and provide them with the flexibility to access the services they need.
Further information on how managers can recognize the signs, respond appropriately, and support employees in such situations can be found at Bjarkahlíð.
