More than 200,000 people miss work each year, and half of all people who miss work also lose pay because their absences are not covered by paid leave policies such as paid safe leave or sick leave. Half of U.S. states offer some form of safe leave protections, often implemented specifically to protect victims of gender-based violence, a group making up 37% of those who missed work due to violence. Using data from the National Crime Victimization Survey, the report finds new evidence for the need for broad eligibility for paid safe leave protections for victims of violent crimes.
