Revised Code of Washington - RCW Title 50 Unemployment Compensation - Section 50.60.010 Legislative intent

§ 50.60.010. Legislative intent

In order to provide an economic climate conducive to the retention of skilled workers in industries adversely affected by general economic downturns and to supplement depressed buying power of employees affected by such downturns, the legislature finds that the public interest would be served by the enactment of laws providing greater flexibility in the payment of unemployment compensation benefits in situations where qualified employers elect to retain employees at reduced hours rather than instituting layoffs.
