OLYMPIA, Wash. — The Washington State Senate unanimously passed Senate Bill 5111, first introduced by Senator Karen Keiser (D-Wash.), aimed at helping short-term construction workers earn paid sick time. Currently, state law outlines a 90-day minimum at one job before a worker can take paid sick leave, according to a press release from the Washington Senate Democrats. This leave accrues one hour for every 40 hours worked.
