Are payments that are outside my employer's legal authority earnable compensation?
Payments made by an employer that are outside the employer's legal authority are not earnable compensation.
Example: | School districts are prohibited by RCW 28A.400.220 from increasing an employee's salary instead of providing a fringe benefit. If a district increased a person's salary instead of providing a district car, the teacher's increased salary payments would not be earnable compensation. |
