Wash. Admin. Code § 357-31-027 - When must a higher education employer allow a part-time employee to use accrued holiday credit?
Higher education employers must allow a part-time employee as defined in WAC 357-01-2290(2) to use accrued holiday credit for the following reasons:
(1) Employees must request to use accrued
holiday credit in accordance with the employer's leave policy. When considering
employees' requests to use accrued holiday credit, employers must consider
their business needs and the wishes of the employee.
(2) An employee must be granted the use of
accrued holiday credit to care for a spouse, registered domestic partner,
parent, parent-in-law, or grandparent of the employee who has a serious health
condition or an emergency health condition, or to care for a minor/dependent
child with a health condition that requires treatment or supervision.
In accordance with the employer's leave policy, approval of the employee's request to use accrued holiday credit may be subject to verification that the condition exists.
(3) An employee must be granted the use of
accrued holiday credit if the employee or the employee's family member, as
defined in chapter 357-01 WAC, is a victim of domestic violence, sexual
assault, or stalking as defined in
RCW
49.76.020. An employer may require the
request for leave under this section be supported by verification in accordance
with WAC 357-31-730.
(4) In accordance with WAC
357-31-373, an employee must be
granted the use of accrued holiday credit to be with a spouse or registered
domestic partner who is a member of the armed forces of the United States,
National Guard, or reserves after the military spouse or registered domestic
partner has been notified of an impending call or order to active duty, before
deployment, or when the military spouse or registered domestic partner is on
leave from deployment.
(5) An
employee must be granted the use of accrued holiday credit when requested as a
supplemental benefit while receiving a partial wage replacement for paid family
and/or medical leave under Title 50A RCW as provided in WAC
357-31-248. Leave taken under
this subsection may be subject to verification that the employee has been
approved to receive benefits for approved paid family and/or medical leave
under Title 50A RCW.
(6) Employers
may require that accumulated holiday credit be used before vacation leave is
approved, except in those instances where this requirement would result in loss
of accumulated vacation leave.
(7)
If the employee requests to use their accrued holiday credit when granted a
temporary leave of absence for legislative service in accordance with WAC
357-31-374(2).
(8) When a high-risk employee seeks an
accommodation to protect themselves from the risk of exposure to an infectious
or contagious disease and the employer determines no other accommodation is
reasonable besides the use of leave.
