Reminder: Paid Family & Medical Leave Requirements Start Jan. 1
Employers will need to offer paid family and medical leave starting January 1, 2020. Prepare your office for requirements that will begin to take effect January 1, 2019.
Passed by the Legislature in 2017, Paid Family and Medical Leave is a state program that offers workers in Washington the opportunity to receive partial wage replacement when taking leave to recover from an illness or injury, to bond with a new child, to care for a sick or injured family member, or for certain military connected events. Paid Family and Medical Leave is not the same as paid sick leave. Beginning in 2020, workers will be able to take up to 12 weeks, as needed, for any of the above listed circumstances.
