Facebook offers paid leave to victims of domestic violence
Naomi Nix
Facebook Inc. Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg said the social-media company is extending its paid leave policy to workers who are the victims of sexual assault and domestic abuse, at a time when violence in homes is on the rise.
All employees globally will be able to take as many as 20 paid days off if they or a relative has been the victim of a crime. Previously, only workers in the U.S. were allowed to take unpaid leave, and only if they were the victim.
“Domestic violence is a huge problem and it’s a universal problem,” Sandberg said in an interview this week ahead of a panel discussion on inclusivity Wednesday at the Bloomberg Equality Summit. “It’s all over the world and it happens in companies like ours to our employees.”
