Policy Purpose
USC is committed to providing unpaid leave and reasonable accommodations for employees who are victims and/or survivors of crime or abuse, including, but not limited to the crimes of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking, to attend legal proceedings and obtain other needed relief.
Additionally, employees may use this leave for their own or their children’s health, safety, or welfare. This includes time-off for medical treatment; psychological counseling or other services; safety planning, including relocation; or legal proceedings. Employees may also use this leave to attend judicial proceedings where an immediate family member (as defined below) has been a victim and/or survivor of a serious or violent crime. For purposes of this policy, the crimes of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking are defined in California Labor Code Section 230.1.
