Organisation of Working Time (Domestic Violence Leave) Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Mandy La Combre:
-----and probably before that in other areas when the Deputy herself was involved. I am talking about it since 2014. It took a long time for us to get domestic violence on the workplace agenda.
Now that it is, and it is now probably more heightened through Covid and hybrid working, etc., employers are more keen to do these policies. Since we have been able to open the door on them, nobody is saying that ten days is too much. Nobody is saying that they will not give more than ten days or that we should reduce them when we review them. That would be my honest opinion on it.
