Notice of adopted rules for Paid Family and Medical Leave

On November 14, 2023, the department filed a CR-103 and adopted rules for Paid Family and Medical Leave to implement legislation that passed during the 2023 legislative session. Substitute Senate Bill (SSB) 5286 made changes to RCW 50A.10.030 regarding how the annual premium rate is calculated for employers and employees. SSB 5586 made changes to RCW 50A.25.040 that will allow employers to access information about their current employees who are taking paid family or medical leave. The adopted rules also align public records rules with agency rules that are already in place.

The rules will be effective January 1, 2024. The adopted rules and supporting documentation can be found on the program?s rulemaking page.

Appeal procedures are found in RCW 34.05.330. This communication constitutes the post-adoption notice required by RCW 34.05.362. For more information, contact us at [email protected].
