Paid Family Medical Leave Resources & FMLA Rights
NCCTK offers paid family medical leave for its employees through Washington State. Paid Family and Medical Leave provides paid time off when a serious health condition prevents you from working, when you need to care for a family member or a new child, or for certain military-related events. The premium is 0.8% of your wage. You may pay about 73% of that total, & your employer pays the rest. This is not including tips and up to the 2023 Social Security cap ($160,200*). Contact HR (hr@ncctk.com) if you need to sign up for FMLA, want to engage in our Paid Family Medical Leave policy, or need to learn how to record time off in Bamboo after approval.
