My job was terminated. Is there a WA state law requiring either 2 wks notice or 2 wks pay?

The RCWs would not contain any statute with that specificity. The RCWs usually authorizes an agency to administer the provisions of the statutes. The rules set up by the administrative agencies would be in the Washington Administrative Codes (WAC). The WACs are at http://apps.leg.wa.gov/wac/ .

The Department of Labor & Industries regulates most employment relationships in WA. You likely can find the answer to your questions at this L&I's page: http://www.lni.wa.gov/WorkplaceRights/Wages/PayReq/FinalPay/default.asp .

In brief, unless you have an agreement with your (former) employer specifying that notice be given, your employment was at-will. That is, either you or your employer may end the relationship at any time for any lawful reason, including no reason, with or without notice. The employer would be responsible for paying you any hours you actually worked.

You likely are eligible for filing for unemployment benefits. You can file online for free at www.esd.wa.gov .

You can also review your facts with an attorney to see if you have any potential action against your employer.

I don't know of any state law that would grant any such right. The prior answer is correct about WA being an at-will state. However, if you are union your union contract may have provisions relating to notice or severance pay. Those provisions would be in the contract, not in the state statutes. Contact your shop steward or local office to see if you have any such protections.

Generally, no, as stated in the answers from the other attorneys. To answer your question in regard to your specific job, an attorney would need to know what type of job it was, who your employer was, whether or not it was a union job, whether or not you had an employment contract, and whether you were full time, or not. In the meantime, I would seek unemployment benefits if possible. Good luck.
