Being there for family is what matters most.
That's why Washington state passed a strong paid
family and medical leave policy with bipartisan support.
Starting in January of 2020, Washington's new paid family
and medical leave program will make it possible for workers
to take 12 weeks of paid leave to care for a new child,
help a seriously ill family member,
or recover from their own serious medical condition.
The new program allows for 16 weeks of combined paid
family and medical leave each year,
and birth parents who experience complications with pregnancy
can take up to 18 weeks of leave.
Anyone who has worked at least 820 hours in the past year--
that's about 17 hours per week--
can apply for and receive benefits directly
from the state's Employment Security Department.
Benefits will be funded through a statewide insurance program,
so small businesses won't have to carry the financial burden
while an employee is on leave.
The average worker will contribute only about $2
each week from their paycheck starting in January 2019.
Small businesses with less than 50 employees
have the option to contribute to the program or not,
but their employees will still receive benefits either way.
And small businesses that do contribute
will be eligible for $3,000 in grants to help cover costs
while an employee is on leave.
Together we passed a paid family and medical leave policy
that will lift families, businesses, and our economy.
But our work doesn't stop here.
