Tesco is first supermarket to offer paid ‘safe leave’ for victims of domestic abuse
Tesco, Britain's largest private‑sector employer, is the first supermarket to provide paid safe leave for domestic‑abuse victims. The policy lets affected staff take up to 12 weeks of paid time off without penalty and offers counseling support. Managers have also received training to identify abuse signs, aiming to improve employee safety and wellbeing. The move follows similar UK corporate initiatives.
