Under Delaware law, employers may not discharge or discipline a victim or a representative of the victim for:
Employers are prohibited from failing or refusing to make reasonable accommodations to an employee’s limitations related to domestic violence, a sexual offense, or stalking unless they can demonstrate that the accommodation would pose an undue hardship.
Reasonable accommodations could include schedule changes, allowing the employee to use accrued leave, or a change in job duties. The law does not, however, provide for a specific period of leave.
Employers may require employees to verify the offense and need for an accommodation via an official document, such as a court order, or by a reliable third-party professional such as a law enforcement agency or officer; a domestic violence, domestic abuse, or sexual assault service provider; or a health care provider.
