MO SB712

Employees who are victims of domestic violence or have a family/household member who is a victim may take unpaid leave to seek medical attention, counseling, legal assistance, safety planning, or other actions to address the violence.

Employers with 50+ employees must provide up to two workweeks of unpaid leave per 12-month period; employers with 15-49 employees must provide one workweek of unpaid leave per 12-month period.

Employers must maintain health insurance coverage for employees and their family/household members during domestic violence leave at the same level as if the employee continued working.

Employers are prohibited from discharging, harassing, discriminating against, or retaliating against employees who exercise domestic violence leave rights or file charges related to violations.

Employers must provide reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals affected by domestic violence, including transfers, modified schedules, changed phone numbers, or seating assignments, unless the accommodation would cause undue hardship.
