Effective Aug. 1, employers in Puerto Rico must allow up to 15 days of “special leave” per year for situations arising from violent acts against an employee or a spouse, child, parent, or another minor, elderly person or person with a disability in the employee’s care. The new law — 2019 PR Laws 83 (Spanish) — specifically permits special leave for domestic violence, sexual harassment and assault, lewd acts, stalking, and child abuse.
