Current through Register Vol. 24-18, September 15, 2024
(1) If you quit work due to a change in working conditions that meets the requirements of RCW 50.20.050 (2)(b)(v) through (x) or (xiv), the department will not deny benefits solely on the basis that you continued working for a brief period of time following the change. However, you must demonstrate to the department that the change in working conditions was the motivating factor for quitting work.
(2) "Brief period of time" means the amount of time a reasonably prudent person would have continued working after the change in circumstances.
(3) "Split shift" means a work schedule in which paid and working time periods are interrupted by nonpaid and nonworking time periods established by the employer, with the time period between shifts being longer than a bona fide rest or meal period and within the same work day.
