Wash. Admin. Code § 357-58-477 - Is a WMS employee who is rehired following layoff considered to have had a break in state service?

(1) An employee laid off in accordance with the provisions of WAC 357-58-445 is not considered to have had a break in continuous state service if within two years of separation the employee is appointed to a position.

(2) Upon appointment, an employee is reinstated with the anniversary and unbroken service dates the employee had at the time of layoff. A full-time employee is given full-time credit toward seniority for the time spent off the payroll due to layoff. As provided in WAC 357-46-055(2) a part-time employee's seniority is calculated by determining the number of actual hours worked and/or in paid status, therefore a part-time employee shall not receive seniority credit for the time spent off the payroll due to layoff.
