Thanks to workers like SEIU6 members who organized for paid sick leave, all workers in Washington earn sick pay. Sick pay accrues at a rate of 1 hour for every 40 hours worked and can be used to take care of oneself or a family member, to visit the doctor or take a family member to the doctor, or to seek safety from domestic abuse. Most companies require 4 hours’ notice for calling out sick to qualify for paid sick time.
Rules around the cash-out of sick pay at the end of the year may vary according to your collective bargaining agreement. Check your CBA or call our Member Resource Center at 206-448-7348 for more details based on your industry and worksite.
