Recently, Washington State revised the waiting period rule under PFML that will take effect on June 9, 2022. Under the new definition, a "waiting period" is the first seven consecutive calendar days beginning with the Sunday of the first week an eligible employee starts taking paid family or medical leave. A waiting period does not reduce the maximum duration of an employee's available paid family or medical leave.
Employers should be aware of this recent update.
