Wash. Admin. Code § 415-108-700

Current through Register Vol. 24-20, October 15, 2024

Section 415-108-700 - Can I qualify for membership if I work in more than one ineligible position with the same employer?

(1)All of your monthly work for an employer counts as one position. If you are employed with the same employer in two ineligible positions during a year which, when combined, equate to an eligible position and your employer expects you to continue in this employment for a second consecutive year, your employer will report the total hours you work in both positions to the department as an eligible position.

Example:	A person normally works for one employer as a cook for forty hours each month and as a bus driver for forty hours each month. The person is eligible for membership because he works a total of eighty hours each month for at least five months each year and this is the normal pattern of his employment.
Example:	A person normally works for one employer for forty hours each month as a cook. For one year only, she takes on extra duties by also working forty hours per month as a bus driver. Although she worked eighty hours each month for five or more months during one year, she is not eligible for membership because these hours are not the normal pattern of her employment.
Example:	A person works for one employer for forty hours each month as a cook and also works for another employer for forty hours each month as a bus driver. The person is not eligible for membership because he cannot combine the hours of employment with these separate employers to establish membership.

(2)You may be reported in TRS if you work in two positions and one position is covered under TRS. See WAC 415-108-728.
