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. The move comes as a number of major companies have introduced similar policies in recent months. ANZ and National Australia Bank also make such provisions.
