If you’ve worked at the College for three (3) or more consecutive months, you can take up to three (3) days off in a 12-month period if you or someone in your family or household is experiencing domestic violence. Your accrued sick or vacation leave will be used during this time off, if you have any available. If you don’t have any leave left, it will be considered leave without pay.
Here’s how to request this leave:
- Let the Title IX Coordinator know ahead of time unless you are in immediate danger.
- Your information will be kept private, following Florida law.
- You might need to provide proof of the domestic violence situation for your leave.
- Fill out a Leave Request Form or an online leave request, indicating the dates and hours you need off and whether you’ll be using sick leave, vacation leave, or unpaid leave.
- Once the leave day(s) are taken a Leave Report Form must be submitted.
- The Title IX Coordinator will notify your supervisor about your leave request and get the necessary approvals.
- Please note that your Leave Request Form and any time sheets are also confidential and will remain so for one year after your leave ends.
