Beginning October 1, 2025, Connecticut’s antidiscrimination law, which applies to employers of all sizes, will cover victims of sexual assault and human trafficking and give them the same protections as victims of domestic violence. This means they’ll be entitled to discrimination protections, reasonable victim leave, and workplace accommodations.
Action Item
Update your antidiscrimination policy (and victim leave policy, if it’s separate) to reflect these changes. If you use our Smart Employee Handbook, accept the changes when you receive the notification.
