PDFWAC 296-17A-7101

Classification 7101.

7101-00 Corporate officers, N.O.C.
Applies to executive officers of a corporation who are not covered by another classification (N.O.C.) and for whom optional coverage has been elected. This is a standard exception classification as described in WAC 296-17-31018 Exception classifications. To qualify for this section, a corporate officer must:
• Be exempt from mandatory coverage pursuant to RCW 51.12.020(8);
• Not be exposed to the operative hazard of the business; and
• Not directly supervise workers who are exposed to the operative hazard of the business.
Officers who are exposed to the operative hazard, or who directly supervise workers who are exposed to the operative hazard, must be reported in the basic classification applicable to the work performed.
Special note: Exempt officers can never be reported in classification 4904. Exempt officers who have elected optional coverage and are engaged exclusively in outside sales are reported in classification 6303 if they meet all the standard exception requirements for classification 6303 detailed in WAC 296-17-31018.
