Wash. Admin. Code § 357-46-065 – Under the provisions of temporary layoff, what happens if an employer has less than 20 hours per week of work for an employee to perform?

If an employer has less than 20 hours per week of work for an employee to perform during a period of temporary layoff, the employer must notify the employee that the employee is being furloughed.
