(c)(1) It shall be an unlawful discriminatory practice for an employer
to refuse to provide a reasonable accommodation to an employee who is
known by the employer to be a victim of domestic violence, limited to
those accommodations set forth in subparagraph two of this paragraph,
when such employee must be absent from work for a reasonable time,
unless such absence would cause an undue hardship to the employer as set
forth in subparagraph three of this paragraph, provided, however that
the employer may require an employee to charge any time off pursuant to
this section against any leave with pay ordinarily granted, where
available, unless otherwise provided for in a collective bargaining
agreement or existing employee handbook or policy, and any such absence
that cannot be charged may be treated as leave without pay. An employee
who must be absent from work in accordance with subparagraph two of this
paragraph shall be entitled to the continuation of any health insurance
coverage provided by the employer, to which the employee is otherwise
entitled during any such absence.
