Date Issued: July 15, 2014.
Description: In recent years the code reviser reorganized the definitions section in the Minimum Wage Act (RCW 49.46.010) so that the definitions are now in alphabetical order. This changed the subsection number or each definition. Several of our administrative policies had references to different subsections in RCW 49.46.010. Many of the proposed changes only change our policies so that the specific subsection in our policy matches the law.
