REPORTABLE COMPENSATION
Section 415-110-469 - Standby pay

Universal Citation: WA Admin Code 415-110-469
Current through Register Vol. 24-18, September 15, 2024

Some employers pay employees for being on "standby." A member is on standby when not being paid for time actually worked and the employer requires the member to be prepared to report immediately for work if the need arises, although the need may not arise. Because the member is not actually working, the member is not rendering service. However, RCW 41.35.010 specifically identifies standby pay that meets the above requirements as re-portable compensation. Although included in the definition of compensation earnable, time spent on standby is excluded from the definition of "service," see RCW 41.35.010.

Statutory Authority: Chapters 41.32, 41.34, 41.35, 41.50 RCW. 01-01-059, §415-110-469, filed 12/12/00, effective 1/12/01.
