Domestic Violence Leave

"An Act Relative to Domestic Violence" provides employees with up to 15 days of leave annually if the employee, or a covered family member of the employee, is a victim of abusive behavior.  In response, the University developed the following policy that provides more detailed information about employees’ entitlement to this leave.

Public Records Exemption

Under MA public records law, an employee's name, title, salary, and department are considered public information and FSU is required to provide that information upon request.  Exemptions to this requirement exist for employees who are victims of adjudicated crimes or victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, or rape.  Family members of victims who also work for the state may also receive an exemption.  The Payroll Public Records Exemption Form should be submitted directly to the University Title IX Coordinator in the Human Resources Office located in Dwight Hall suite 207.
