Witness and Victims of Crimes Leave Policy
(with Acknowledgment) (MO)

Summary

This template is a Witness and Victims of Crimes Leave Policy (MO) that sets forth employees' entitlement to leave in Missouri because of their status as a witness or victim of a crime, whether that leave is paid, whether employees may or must use their accrued leave time to cover their absences, and whether there are any employee notice and/or documentation requirements. As a result, the text of this template differs from the non-jurisdictional Witness and Victims of Crimes Leave Policy (with Acknowledgment). This template is intended for private employers. It contains practical guidance, drafting notes, and an optional clause.
