This Supplementary Order Paper amends SOP No 39 amending the Domestic Violence—Victims’ Protection Bill to make it explicit that domestic violence is a valid reason for requesting and being provided paid annual or sick leave. It replaces the original clause 14, which provided an additional 10 days’ leave specifically for reasons associated with domestic violence. The original changes would be difficult for tens of thousands of small businesses to navigate. The new 10 days of annual domestic violence leave entitlements are significant and in addition to the 4 weeks of annual leave, 11 days of public holidays, 5 days of sick leave and 3 days of bereavement leave provided by law. This Supplementary Order Paper provides a more moderate change that makes it clear to employers that reasons associated with domestic violence are valid reasons for granting annual and sick leave.
