Wash. Admin. Code § 357-46-055 - How is a general government employee's seniority date determined?
(1) For a full-time
general government employee, the seniority date is the employee's most recent
date of hire into state service (including exempt service) as adjusted for any
period of leave without pay which exceeds 15 consecutive calendar days except
when the leave without pay is taken for:
(a)
Military leave as provided in WAC
357-31-370;
(b) Compensable work-related injury or
illness leave;
(c) Government
service leave not to exceed two years and one month;
(d) Educational leave, contingent upon
successful completion of the coursework;
(e) Reducing the effects of layoff;
(f) Leave without pay as authorized by a
proclamation issued by the governor directly related to health and safety;
and/or
(g) Leave for service in an
elective office or legislative service as provided in WAC
357-31-374.
(2) When an employee is on leave without pay
for more than 15 consecutive calendar days and the absence is not due to one of
the reasons listed above, the employee's seniority date must be moved forward
in an amount equal to the number of calendar days on leave without
pay.
(3) For a part-time general
government employee, the seniority date is calculated by determining the number
of actual hours worked and/or in paid status, excluding compensatory time off.
Actual hours worked includes overtime hours regardless of whether or not the
employee receives monetary payment or compensatory time for the hours worked.
Time spent in leave without pay status is not credited unless the leave without
pay is taken for:
(a) Military leave as
provided in WAC
357-31-370;
(b) Compensable work-related injury or
illness leave;
(c) Government
service leave not to exceed two years and one month;
(d) Educational leave, contingent upon
successful completion of the coursework;
(e) Reducing the effects of layoff;
(f) Leave without pay as
authorized by a proclamation issued by the governor directly related to health
and safety; and/or
(g) Leave for
service in an elective office or legislative service as provided in WAC
357-31-374.
