We have an employee who we "suspect" is involved in a Domestic Violence situation at home. She comes to work with bruises on her forhead and throat. She has called in sick and comes into work and leaves because she is feeling "ill". She has told co-workers that she is wanting to leave her homelife, but doesn't say why...
As an employer, do we have the right to ask her about it and refer her to the agencies that we would normally? Usually employees come to me, but this one hasn't come to me, and we don't want to wait until its too late.
