Washington RCW 49.46.200 mandates paid sick leave for nearly all employees, and RCW 50A.04 provides paid family and medical leave funded by payroll premiums.
Washington requires employers to provide paid sick leave under RCW 49.46.200, accruing at one hour per 40 hours worked, available for employee or family illness, medical appointments, and certain safe leave purposes. Separately, RCW chapter 50A administers Washington Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML), funded by payroll premiums shared between employers and employees. PFML provides up to 12 weeks (or up to 18 weeks combined) of partial wage replacement for serious health conditions, bonding with new children, qualifying military exigencies, and caring for family members. The Employment Security Department administers PFML. Cities may enact more generous paid leave but cannot reduce state-mandated benefits.
Failure to provide paid sick leave or PFML premiums results in back pay, civil penalties, and potential L&I or ESD enforcement actions. Retaliation against leave users is prohibited.
