Universal Citation: WA Admin Code 192-530-050

Current through Register Vol. 24-18, September 15, 2024

(1) Employees cannot collect benefits from both the state plan and an approved voluntary plan for the same period. To ensure compliance, employers with an approved voluntary plan must report:

(a) All information required of employers by the state plan; and

(b) Weekly benefit and leave duration information for any employee who takes leave under that plan for reasons that would have qualified for leave under the state plan.

(2) Upon request, the department will provide weekly benefit, typical workweek hours, and leave duration information to any employer with an approved voluntary plan that requests it for an employee who intends to take leave under that plan.

(3) If the employee is covered by more than one plan, whether state, voluntary, or a combination of either, the employee is considered covered by the employer for which the employee worked the most hours during the qualifying period.

(a) If the employee worked an equal number of hours for more than one employer during the qualifying period, then the employee is considered covered by the employer for which the employee worked the most hours since the qualifying period.

(b) If the employee worked an equal number of hours for more than one employer since the qualifying period, then the employee is considered covered by the employer for which the employee has an earlier start date.
