Employee Benefits

The Domestic Workers Bill of Rights, introduced today in the House and Senate, addresses challenges faced by non-traditional workers.

In a guest blog, Washington Employment Commissioner Suzi LeVine discusses Washington’s Paid Family and Medical Leave program, which will allow workers to take up to 12 weeks, as needed, beginning in 2020.

Providing more workers with access to adequate paid family and medical leave is one way to help meet the evolving needs of workers, while also recognizing the importance of caregiving work.
