Section 357-46-064. Are there any limits to temporary layoff?

Under the provisions of WAC 357-46-063, an employer may not:

(1) Furlough an employee for more than thirty calendar days in a calendar year; or

The only exception to these limits is if the temporary layoff is due to the failure of congress to pass a continuing resolution or a federal budget.
