Revised Code of Washington - RCW Title 41 Public Employment, Civil Service, And Pensions - Section 41.04.650 Leave sharing program -- Intent

§ 41.04.650. Leave sharing program -- Intent

The legislature finds that: (1) State employees historically have joined together to help their fellow employees who suffer from, or have relatives or household members suffering from, an extraordinary or severe illness, injury, impairment, or physical or mental condition which prevents the individual from working and causes great economic and emotional distress to the employee and his or her family; and (2) these circumstances may be exacerbated because the affected employees use all their accrued sick leave and annual leave and are forced to take leave without pay or terminate their employment. Therefore, the legislature intends to provide for the establishment of a leave sharing program.

[1989 c 93 § 1.]
