WAC 296-128-710. Shared leave

(1) An employer may establish a shared paid sick leave program in which an employee may choose to donate paid sick leave to a co-worker. (2) If an employer establishes a shared paid sick leave program, the employer must have a written policy or a collective bargaining agreement which specifies that an employee may donate accrued, unused paid sick leave to a co-worker for purposes authorized under RCW 49.46.210 (1)(b) and (c). The employer must notify employees of such policy or agreement prior to allowing an employee to donate or use shared paid sick leave. An employer must make this information readily available to all employees.
