Universal Citation: WA Admin Code 192-150-066
Current through Register Vol. 24-18, September 15, 2024
For separations occurring on or after July 7, 2024, and before July 8, 2029:
(1) General rule. To establish good cause for leaving work voluntarily because the care for a child or vulnerable adult in your care is inaccessible, you must demonstrate that:
(a) You left work primarily
because of such caregiving inaccessibility;
(b) The caregiving inaccessibility made it
necessary for you to leave work;
(c) You terminated your employment status and
are not entitled to be reinstated to the same position or a comparable similar
position; and
(d) You made
reasonable efforts to preserve your employment prior to leaving work,
including:
(i) Requesting changes in working
conditions; changes to your work schedule that would accommodate the caregiving
inaccessibility; or a leave of absence, notifying your employer of the
reason(s) for the leave of absence before the date you begin the leave of
absence; and
(ii) Asking to be
reemployed when you are able to return to work. (You are not required to
request reemployment after the job separation has occurred to establish good
cause.)
(2) Exception. You may be excused from pursuing reasonable alternatives prior to leaving work as required by subsection (1)(d) of this section if you can show that doing so would have been a futile act.
