Ms Mandy La Combre:

They are not looking for it at all. During the course of negotiations even the potential or possibility of abuse of the leave was never discussed. It is something I was flabbergasted by when I heard about it last week because it really is not an issue with the employers we have been dealing with. There are maybe only ten companies in the country, so far, that have domestic violence workplace leave policies and as far as I am aware none of them has sought this, so it seems ludicrous. We need to believe people and to trust them and employers need to trust their workers on this.
