How to renew workplace violence restraining order
The Workplace Violence Restraining Order After Hearing (CLETS-WHO) (form WV-130) you obtained on behalf of your employee most likely has an expiration (end) date on the first page in item 5. That means that on that date, the order will end and your employee will no longer be protected by it.
If you are still concerned for your employee's safety or want the restraining order to stay in place, you have to “renew” it, which makes it last longer and gives it a new end date. A renewal can make the restraining order last another 3 years.
You must ask the court to renew the restraining order BEFORE your current one ends.
