Do you really need an attorney who has in-house experience working for large companies?

November 1, 2018 By Bryn Peterson

Piece rate employees are paid a rate of pay for completing a certain task, for example, when an apple picker is paid for each bin of apples picked. An hourly employee is a person that is paid by the hour, and not paid for completing a task. If a person is paid by the hour, one must be paid at least minimum wage for each hour worked in the State of Washington. If a person is a piece rate employee, the employer may use workweek averaging to calculate minimum wage compliance. In workweek averaging, so long as the rate of pay is at or above minimum wage, some of the hours worked can be paid at a rate under minimum wage.
