The Orcas Island Chamber of Commerce invites the public to attend a Business Essentials seminar, aimed at assisting small businesses.
Our topic: Initiative 1433 – Paid Sick Leave – Employer Requirements & Employee Rights.
On Nov. 8, 2016, voters in WA State approved Initiative Measure No. 1433 (I-1433); which increased the state minimum wage, requires employers to pay all tips and gratuities to employees and introduces a new paid sick leave law. Come find out what employers responsibilities are as the new paid sick leave law went into effect on January, 1, 2018. L&I website for information.
