Hawaii Domestic Violence Crisis Support Resources

Hawaii Unemployment Insurance Law Protects Victims of Domestic Violence.
Passed in 2004, Hawaii Revised Statutes Chapter 378, Section 72 provides leave of absence for victims of domestic or sexual violence. An employer employing fifty or more employees shall allow an employee to take up to thirty days of unpaid victim leave from work per calendar year, or an employer employing not more than forty-nine employees shall allow an employee to take up to five days of unpaid leave from work per calendar year, if the employee or the employee's minor child is a victim of domestic or sexual violence; provided the leave is to seek medical attention, recover from physical or psychological injury, obtain services from a victim services organization, obtain psychological or other counseling, temporarily or permanently relocate, or to take legal action, including preparing for or participating in any civil or criminal legal proceeding related to or resulting from the domestic or sexual violence, or other actions to enhance the physical, psychological, or economic health or safety of the employee or the employee's minor child or to enhance the safety of those who associate with or work with the employee.
