Section 192-600-005 - When must an employee provide notice to the employer for foreseeable leave?
Universal Citation: WA Admin Code 192-600-005
Current through Register Vol. 24-18, September 15, 2024
(1)
(a) An employee must provide the employer at
least thirty days' written notice before paid family or medical leave is to
begin if the need for the leave is foreseeable based on an expected birth,
placement of a child, or planned medical treatment for a serious health
condition.
(b) An employee must
provide the employer written notice as soon as is practicable when thirty days'
notice is not possible, such as because of a lack of knowledge of approximately
when leave will be required to begin, a change in circumstances, or a medical
emergency.
(2) An employee must provide the employer written notice as soon as is practicable for foreseeable leave due to a qualifying military exigency, regardless of how far in advance such leave is foreseeable.
(3) Whether paid family or medical leave is to be continuous or is to be taken intermittently or on a reduced schedule basis, written notice need only be given one time, but the employee must inform the employer as soon as is practicable if dates of the scheduled leave change, are extended, or were initially unknown.
