A home care agency or client cannot employ an individual to work as a long-term care worker if the individual has previously worked as a long-term care worker and has not completed applicable training and/or certification requirements within the required timeframe. Such individual may be employed by a home care agency or client to work as a long-term care worker only after applicable training and/or certification requirements are met. The department is authorized by RCW 74.39A.086 to take enforcement action for noncompliance related to training and/or certification requirements.
