Commonwealth Bank is the latest of the big Four Australian banks to offer unlimited paid leave to employees dealing with domestic or family violence. CBA human resources executive Sian Lewis said the measure enabled staff to deal with their crises, meet counsellors, attend medical appointments or deal with legal obligations. "Due to the size of our workforce and the horrifying scale of this issue in our community, we know we have many people who work here who are directly impacted by domestic and family violence," CBA human resources executive Sian Lewis said. CBA said it would also continue the policy of offering Friday paid leave to staff helping an immediate family member or someone in their household deal with the issue. ANZ and CBA also make such provisions.
