Washington state’s remote work rule will be in effect in less than one month Feb. 17, the same date the temporary guidance expires.
The rule was unanimously approved by the Washington State Collection Agency Board Jan. 12.
The permanent rule is expected to greatly expand options for the accounts receivable management (ARM) industry and set a precedent for other states to follow suit.
Other industries and businesses can work remotely in Washington and the rule for the ARM industry was developed to ensure consistency across those sectors, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a notice on the final rule.
