ABOUT THE EVENTThe Seattle Paid Sick and Safe Time ordinance takes effect on September 1, 2012. Employers must provide Seattle workers (that is workers based in Seattle and companies outside of Seattle who send workers to Seattle for jobs) with paid "sick and safe" time off - i.e., accrued, job-protected leave. Is your organization prepared?

Join Foster Pepper attorneys and special guests for a complimentary seminar, or if outside the Seattle area, via webinar, covering the new ordinance. This presentation will provide practical guidance to Washington employers on compliance with the new leave requirements.
In addition to experienced Foster Pepper attorneys, our presenters will include a special guest speaker from the City of Seattle to answer your questions.
