Purpose
Rollins College seeks to create a safe and supportive work environment in which employees feel comfortable seeking workplace assistance for domestic violence concerns.
Domestic violence, as defined for this policy, is any physically, sexually, and/or psychologically abusive behavior that a household member or dating partner uses to establish and maintain control over another person. Such behavior can be violent or threaten violence and may result in physical or emotional harm or otherwise place a person’s safety and productivity at risk. Domestic violence is a serious problem that affects people from all walks of life. It can adversely affect the well‐being and productivity of employees who are victims, as well as their co‐workers.
