(1) A transportation network company must establish regularly scheduled payment intervals for compensation, tips and gratuities, reimbursements, or any other amounts due to a driver. The scheduled interval must occur at least bi-weekly. Nothing in this provision prevents a transportation company from establishing a more frequent interval or paying in advance of a scheduled payday, such as an instant payment.

(2) A transportation network company must pay the driver amounts owed no later than 10 calendar days after the end of the pay period.

(3) Transportation network companies may pay drivers by direct deposit or other electronic means on the established payday. If a transportation network makes a payment by mail, any mailed payment must be postmarked no later than the established payday. If the established payday falls on a weekend day or holiday when the business office is not open, mailed paychecks must be postmarked no later than the next business day.

(4) If any applicable federal, state, or local law or ordinance in a locality outside of Washington provides specific payment interval requirements that are more favorable to a driver than the payment interval requirements provided under this rule, that law shall apply.
