(Tuesday, October 3, 2000)As part of national Work to End Domestic Violence Day, Attorney General Ben Chandler is calling upon all Kentucky employers to help educate their workforce about domestic violence. " I urge all Kentucky businesses to work with their local domestic violence officials to ensure that all employees better understand the dynamics of domestic violence, "General Chandler said. Chandler called on all employers to recognize that many battered women are also working women. "All too often, these victims view their place of employment as their one safe haven, but all too frequently, the stalking, threats and violence follow them to work," Chandler said. "As your Attorney General, I urge all Kentucky employers to turn the workplace into a setting where their battered employees can get help." "My office is ready to work with you to plan employer-sponsored seminars and meetings to educate workers about domestic violence. Millions of women, men and children are abused nationwide. This violence costs employers every year in terms of decreased productivity and increased absenteeism and turnover rates. Together, we can work to eliminate the scourge of domestic violence."

People do not need to be living together but need only to have a close personal relationship to be covered by the legislation. The relationships of landlord and tenant, employer/employee or employees within the same business are not "domestic relationships" unless the parties also have a close personal relationship. Other legislation covers these situations. Domestic violence is violence against a person by another person with whom they are in a domestic relationship.
