New Minimum Wage Survey for WA Child Care Providers (English) |
Initiative 1433 Survey Questions for ECE Educators
Child Care Aware of Washington wants to know how the minimum wage initiative will impact your child care small business. We want to share this information with policymakers during the 2017 Legislative Session. We will share this information (no personal information, just survey data) with you, the child care and early learning field, child care champions, and, most importantly, legislators. This information will be critical to all of us who want to fight for greater support for child care providers and families in WA!
Initiative 1433 was approved by WA State voters last November. It will raise the state minimum wage to $13.50 by 2020, and requires employers to offer paid sick leave. The minimum wage will increase to:
· $11/hr in 2017
· $11.50/hr in 2018
· $12/hr in 2019
· $13.50/hr in 2020
· Beginning in 2021, the minimum wage will be adjusted with inflation, according to existing state law
Starting in 2018, WA businesses must provide paid sick leave to their employees. At minimum, employees must receive one hour of sick leave for every 40 hours worked, up to 40 hours of paid leave per year. Employees can start using paid sick leave after 90 days with a business, and unused sick leave must roll over to the following year.
