Additional exemptions from the minimum wage exist for in-training employees (85%), student learners\/workers (75%) and apprentices however employers must receive permission from the Washington Department of Labor and Industries (L&I) and meet additional criteria<\/a>.<\/p>\n TIP:<\/b> The minimum wage is the minimum amount an employer can pay you for each hour that you work, are being trained, are required to stay at the worksite, or commute between worksites on a single job. Washington\u2019s minimum wage law covers almost all workers in both agricultural and non-agricultural jobs, and covers both documented and undocumented workers. See below for a list of jobs exempt from the Washington State Minimum Wage Act.<\/p>\n Although the Burien City Council passed a law in March 2024 claiming to increase the minimum wage starting in January 2025, it remains unclear how many workers will see a raise due to this law change because of the large number of loopholes and exemptions in the law.<\/p>\n These include: allowing employers to include tips and contributions to employee healthcare as a part of the minimum compensation requirement, excluding workers at businesses with up to 20 full-time equivalent employees, and using a definition of large businesses that won\u2019t cover many multinational corporations that employ people in Burien. See more here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Washington State’s Transportation Network Company Drivers’ rights law was requires companies like Uber and Lyft to pay a minimum per mile and per minute rate (including a minimum trip rate). The law also provides drivers the right to paid sick time, workers’ compensation and retaliation protections.
