What type of leave must an employee file a certification to receive?

Leave for victims of violence against women requires employees to file a certification to receive it because it is specifically designed to protect and support individuals who have experienced such traumatic events. This certification process serves as a way for the employee to formally request leave under the relevant legislation, ensuring that the employer has documentation to validate the need for the leave based on the circumstances related to domestic violence or related issues.

In contrast, annual leave, casual leave, and leave for family emergencies typically do not require a specific certification. For these types of leave, employees often have more flexible criteria and may simply need to follow their employer's standard procedures for requesting time off without the necessity of providing documentation or certification regarding the circumstances of the leave. Therefore, the requirement for certification is specific to certain types of leave, particularly those that involve sensitive personal circumstances, such as being a victim of violence against women.
