Complying with Other Victims of Certain Crimes Leave Act (OVCCLA) Requirements
Attending this training is a must for the majority of Oregon employers and their management staff. If you have 6 or more employees in Oregon, the Other Victims of Certain Crimes Leave Act of 2007 (OVCCLA) affects you. It requires you to allow employees to take “reasonable” leave to address issues unique to crime victims. This new leave law will influence how employers administer company leave programs. The leave is complex and is often interrelated to the Oregon Family Leave Act (OFLA) and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and could also interface with injured worker and disability laws. Without proper training, employers can land in legal minefields, even when operating with good intentions.
During this training session, the speaker focuses on the legal requirements of each law, explains how they interrelate, and shows you how to see the "big leave picture" when considering a leave request. This presentation also includes a discussion by a victims service provider about domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking.
The afternoon portion of the seminar will include information about workplace harassment, reviewing trends in this volatile area and giving you tips to minimize your liability.
