WAC 357-46-064. Are there any limits to temporary layoff?

Under the provisions of WAC 357-46-063 , an employer may not: (1) Furlough an employee for more than sixty calendar days in a calendar year; or (2) Temporarily reduce an employee's regular work schedule to less than twenty hours a week for more than sixty calendar days in a calendar year. The only exception to these limits is if the temporary layoff is due to the failure of congress to pass a continuing resolution or a federal budget.
