How do we handle a possible case of ongoing domestic violence?

08/26/2013

Q: A young woman on our staff comes to work often with visible bruises, and last week a black eye. Her husband calls her frequently during the workday, sometimes as many as 10 times in one day. She always has a ready excuse for how the bruises happened. Several staff members have come to me voicing concern that she may be getting abused at home, and I have wondered the same thing myself. Her accuracy level is decreasing, she lacks focus, and is starting to miss work more often. Can I legally approach her and offer resources that are available in our area for battered women?  – Jeanne, Florida
