(1) Basic salary is the compensation used to determine LEOFF contributions and LEOFF retirement allowances. A payment from an employer to a member does not qualify as basic salary unless it meets the statutory definition of basic salary in RCW 41.26.030(13) which is explained in greater detail in WAC 415-104-311 through 415-104-405.

(2) The definition of basic salary is different for Plan I and Plan II. WAC 415-104-311 through 415-104-350 define basic salary for Plan I. WAC 415-104-360 through 415-104-405 define basic salary for Plan II.
