Tesco introduces paid 'safe leave' for employees experiencing domestic abuse

1 hour ago · Originally published 2 Oct 2026 9/10 Original headline: Tesco is first supermarket to offer paid ‘safe leave’ for victims of domestic abuse
Tesco has become the first UK supermarket to offer staff up to three days of paid leave to access support, secure accommodation, or manage legal matters related to domestic abuse. By removing the requirement for formal evidence and training managers to recognise signs of harm, the company aims to provide practical help to its 300,000 employees - a move that unions hope will encourage other major employers to follow suit.
