Limiting supplemental benefits for public employee leave while on paid family medical leave.

This bill limits supplemental paid leave benefits for Washington state and local government employees while they are on approved paid family or medical leave. It prevents total compensation (the primary benefit plus supplemental leave) from exceeding the employee's regular salary or average hourly rate. Supplemental leave used under this rule cannot be counted toward weekly claims submitted to the employment security department. The law takes effect July 1, 2027.
