1 Comment

 
Picture
The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) has acknowledged the challenges posed by the current backlog in credentialing for home care aides. This backlog, exacerbated by waivers during the COVID-19 pandemic, has allowed caregivers to work beyond the 200-day limit without completing the credentialing process. Some pending applications date back to 2020 and are undergoing review under the COVID-19 public health emergency rules.

Building a Better Workplace: Washington State Adds Worker Protection Laws

4/10/2024

0 Comments

 
Picture
Washington State Gov. Jay Inslee recently signed several workplace protection bills, including the Employee Free Choice Act (SB 5778), making Washington the sixth state to bar employers from disciplining or terminating employees who decline to attend "captive audience" meetings, often used to undermine union activities. Another notable bill (HB 1905) expands pay equity investigations by allowing the Department of Labor & Industries to probe discrimination claims based on age, race, disability, and other protected classes, previously limited to gender-based claims. Inslee also approved SB 5793, which enhances the state's paid sick leave law, broadening its scope to include caring for non-traditional family members such as roommates and close relationships and enabling paid sick leave if a child’s school or daycare is closed due to emergency declarations made by local, state, or federal government.
