“Clear instance or pattern of abuse” includes one or more situations when an
employee has used paid sick/safe time in a pattern without legitimate reason (e.g.
repeated absences or absences that precede or follow regular days off) or has
obtained, attempted to obtain or used paid sick/safe time improperly

Sick time can be used if an employee is physically or mentally unable to work
due to illness, injury, or a medical condition, including pregnancy; for

is a victim);

1) What does the Seattle Paid Sick and Safe Time law do?
Seattle’s permanent paid sick and safe time law gives workers sick time that can be used to recover from physical/mental illness or injury; to seek medical diagnosis, treatment, or preventative care; or to care for a family member who is ill or needs medical diagnosis, treatment, or preventative care.

It also gives workers safe time that can be used when the worker’s place of business is closed by order of a public official for any health-related reason to limit exposure to an infectious agent, biological toxin, or hazardous material; to care for a family member whose school or place of care has been closed; or to address certain non-medical needs that may arise if the worker or a family member is a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. If a worker’s employer has 250 or more full-time workers, they can also use safe time when their place of business has reduced operations or closed for any health- or safety-related reason.
