(1) Calculation - Unions applying for union employer status must provide the department with the information specified in WAC 415-108-660.

Each union employer is required to submit to the department the form provided in WAC 415-108-660 in verifying compliance with WAC 415-108-620 on or after November 1 and no later than December 31 of each year.

(2) Union employer status will lapse on January 1 if a union does not submit verification by December 31 of the preceding year. The union may regain union employer status by subsequently submitting verification of compliance with WAC 415-108-620 (1)(a). The union shall be responsible for applicable retroactive employer contributions plus interest for any period of lapsed employer status.

(3) Unions submitting timely verification of qualifications for union employer status are considered Plan I union employers for the succeeding calendar year (January 1 to December 31).
