As mandated by the Seattle Office of Labor Standards, employers covered by Seattle's Paid Sick and Safe Time Ordinance must provide employees with written notice of its policies and procedures for meeting the ordinance's requirements and may use the Seattle, Washington Paid Sick and Safe Time Model Policy.
An employer may use this policy to define the way that paid time off is earned and when it can be used. A written and published policy is best practice in order to manage employee expectations and to allow the business to properly staff all areas of the company. The Paid Time Off Policy should be communicated to employees at the commencement of employment, and should be referred to whenever there is a question regarding employees' paid time off.
