WSR 16-19-072 PERMANENT RULES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND INDUSTRIES [Filed September 20, 2016, 9:14 a.m., effective November 1, 2016] Effective Date of Rule: November 1, 2016.
Purpose: WAC 296-127-01324 Electrician-motor shop, this rule making will adopt a new rule as a prevailing wage scope of work description for motor shop electricians. This trade and occupation classification has not previously had any scope of work description but does have published prevailing rates of wage. Prior to 2000, the prevailing wage scope of work descriptions (if any) were promulgated by the industrial statistician on an as needed basis (and not adopted as administrative rule). No scope was promulgated for motor shop electricians.
Clearly identifying the extent of this trade and occupation will assist in better identifying the exact universe to survey in order to establish the prevailing rate of wage for this trade and occupation classification as well as having a defensible description of the trade for any wage compliance matters.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: Chapter 39.12 RCW.
Adopted under notice filed as WSR 16-14-094 on July 5, 2016.
Changes Other than Editing from Proposed to Adopted Version: The only change between the rule as adopted and the proposed rule is the capitalization of two letters.
