WASHINGTON STATE WAGE AND HOUR FAQ’S
The Washington State Department of Labor & Industries recently released a fact sheet covering frequently asked questions (FAQs) about pay requirements, deductions from pay, hiring a teen worker, employee uniforms, and employee access to personnel files.
The fact sheet is a succinct description of the laws with links to more detailed fact sheets on some of the subjects that are covered. It is a good starting point for questions about these issues, but it is for informational purposes only and should not be used for legal advice. It could also be affected by the terms of an employment contract or collective bargaining agreement.
In reviewing information about employment laws, keep in mind that there are both state and federal laws that cover each of these topics. Most employees are covered by both state and federal law. As a result, the guidance provided by the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries generally would not apply to employees in other states.
The link for the fact sheet is http://www.lni.wa.gov/IPUB/700-150-000.pdf.
