Submit Written Comments to: Les Hargrave, P.O. Box 44140, Olympia, WA 98501, e-mail HALE235@lni.wa.gov, fax (360) 902-4988, by 5 p.m. on May 10, 2011.
Assistance for Persons with Disabilities: Contact office of information and assistance by May 5, 2011, TTY (360) 902-5797.
Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules: A review of reporting practices by employers in the sports industry showed that hours for coaches account for too much of the premium compared to players. In addition, we found that most teams assume hours by game and practices and that this is not always consistent between teams. This rule making will amend our regulations to better accommodate current industry practices and ensure more uniformity in reporting. Premium costs will be better distributed among coaches' and players' hours.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: In response to an industry inquiry, we have reviewed our rates and reporting requirements and decided that there is a better way to assess and collect premiums in this industry.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 51.04.020 and 51.16.035.
Statute Being Implemented: RCW 51.16.035.
Rule is not necessitated by federal law, federal or state court decision.
Name of Proponent: Department of labor and industries, governmental.
Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Richard Bredeson, Tumwater, Washington, (360) 902-4985; Implementation: Les Hargrave, Tumwater, Washington, (360) 902-4298; and Enforcement: Beth A. Dupre, Tumwater, Washington, (360) 902-4209.
No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. The agency is exempt from conducting a small business economic impact statement since the proposed rules set or adjust fees or rates to legislative standards described in RCW 34.05.310 (4)(f) and do not change current coverage options for employers and workers.
A cost-benefit analysis is not required under RCW 34.05.328. Since the proposed rules do not change any existing coverage options for employers or workers and adjust fees pursuant to legislative standards, they are exempted by RCW 34.05.328 (5)(b)(vi) from the requirement for a cost-benefit analysis.

AMENDATORY SECTION(Amending WSR 07-24-045, filed 12/1/07, effective 1/1/08)
WAC 296-17-31021 Units of exposure. (1) What is a "unit of exposure?"A unit of exposure is the measure which is used to help determine the premium you will pay. For most businesses the unit of exposure is the hours worked by their employees. Because not all employees are compensated based on the hours they work, we have developed reporting alternatives to make reporting to us easier. Those alternatives are outlined in subsection (2) of this section. In other cases, the department may authorize some other method in assuming workers hours for premium calculation purposes.
(2) What are the alternatives to actual hours worked?
The exceptions are:
All salaried employees of an employer must be reported by the same method. You cannot report some salaried employees based on the actual hours they work and others using the one hundred sixty hours per month method. Provided further, as in the case of contract personnel employed by schools and/or school districts, the school or school district shall report actual hours worked for each employee, one hundred sixty hours per month for each employee, or the department may authorize some other method in assuming workers hours for premium calculation purposes.? Apartment house managers, caretakers, domestic, home care or similar employees: To determine the number of hours you need to report to us, divide an employee's total compensation, including housing and utility allowances, by the average hourly wage for the classification. The total number of work hours to be reported for each employee is not to exceed 520 hours per quarter. You will need to call us at (360) 902-4817 to obtain average hourly wage information. ? Commission employees - outside (such as, but not limited to, real estate and insurance sales): You must select one of the following methods to report your commission employees - outside: ? Actual hours worked; or ? Assumed hours of eight hours per day for part-time employees or one hundred-sixty hours per month for full-time employees. All outside commission employees of an employer must be reported by the same method. You cannot report some outside commission employees based on the actual hours they work and others using the eight hours per day for part-time employees or one hundred-sixty hours per month for full-time employees method. ? Drywall - stocking, installation, scrapping, taping, and texturing: Premiums are based on material installed/finished rather than the hours it took to install/finish the drywall. ? Horse racing - excluding jockeys: Employers in the horse racing industry pay premiums based on a type of license their employees hold rather than the hours the employees work. Premiums are collected by the Washington horse racing commission at the time of licensing. ? Jockeys: Report ten hours for each race/mount or for any day in which duties are reported. ? Pilots and flight crew members: Pilots and flight crew members having flight duties during a work shift including preflight time shall have premium calculated by utilizing daily readings logged per federal requirements of the aircraft tachometer time: Provided, That if the total tachometer time for any day includes a fraction of an hour, the reportable time will be increased to the next full hour: Provided further, That pilots and flight crew members who assume nonflying duties during a work shift will have premium calculated in accordance with the appropriate rules and classifications applicable to nonflight duties. ? Professional and semiprofessional athletic teams; players, coaches, managers, and officials: Report eight hours for each worker every game or practice day. ? Race car drivers: Report ten hours for each race/heat. ? Salaried employees: You must select one of the following methods to report your salaried employees: ? Actual hours worked; or ? Assumed hours of one hundred-sixty hours per month. (3) Can I use assumed work hours for piece workers?
No, if you employ piece workers you must report the actual hours these individuals work for you unless another unit of exposure is required.
Example: If you have employees engaged in drywall work you would report and pay premiums on the basis of the square footage of the material they installed not the hours they worked.
