State workers: shared leave for hate crimes, immigration

Beginning June 11, 2026, Washington state workers can use donated shared leave if they are victims of a hate crime. Workers can also use it when their absence is because of immigration enforcement involving them or a relative or household member, like detainment, immigration court, deportation, or family separation. For immigration-related leave, the worker must be legally authorized to work in the United States.

Privacy and proof rules for immigration leave

Beginning June 11, 2026, employers may ask for proof for immigration‑related shared leave. If they ask, they must tell you not to include immigration‑status details, must remove any such details, and must keep them private unless required by law. They must accept your written statement or papers from an advocate, lawyer, clergy member, or other professional.
