Leave for Victims of Interpersonal Violence

The Act amends The Employment Standards Code (Manitoba), or the “Code”, to broaden its current regime for domestic violence leave to include victims of sexual violence and stalking. The Act replaces the Code’s “Domestic Violence Leave” with “Interpersonal Violence Leave”.

Three forms of violence are now covered under the Code’s interpersonal violence leave:

• domestic violence;
• sexual violence; and
• stalking.
