FAQ
Q: If I Work 8 Hours in Washington, What Breaks Am I Entitled To? A: If you are a Washington State employee who has worked for 8 hours, this is two 4-hour shifts total, which means you should get two 10-minute rest breaks that you are receiving payment for.
The 7-minute rule lets employers round an employee's time to the nearest quarter-hour. It states that employers may round down the time if an employee works 7 minutes or less beyond a quarter-hour increment. Conversely, they round up the time if the employee works more than 7 minutes up to the next quarter-hour.
The law does not require employers to give a worker notice before terminating their job. Employers are not required to give warnings or follow any particular steps before terminating an employee.
The Secure Scheduling Ordinance requires employers to: Engage in the interactive process when employees request schedule preferences and grant requests related to major life events, unless there is a bona fide business reason for denying the request.
Beginning June 6, 2024, a new Washington law prohibits employers from requiring employees to attend meetings which have the primary purpose of communicating the employer's opinion on “religious” or “political” matters.
The hours of labor for each full time employee shall be a maximum of eight hours in any workday and forty hours in any workweek.

To comply with WARN, Washington employers must notify employees of a mass layoff or plant closing 60 days in advance. Employees are entitled to notice if they will lose their jobs. For employees who are union members, the employer must notify their union representative instead.
The law only says you have a right to a 20-minute break if you work more than 6 hours. It does not say when the break must be given. As such, your employer is allowed to ask you to take your break at this time.
As there is no law for breaks, the ability to waive is determined between you and your employer.
