Employees may initiate the use of this leave prior to exhausting all paid accumulated leave. The employer will pay up to $45 per month (or $540 annually) of the employees share of the PFML monthly premium. Eligibility for PFML is determined by the State of Washington. To be eligible employees must meet certain criteria established by the State, such as working a minimum number of hours in the state of Washington and experiencing a qualifying event. If paid leave is used concurrently with PFML, it shall be considered a supplemental benefit.
