Who to ask about this rate, and where to take a wage complaint
The announcement directs workers seeking more information about Washington's minimum wage law to the required workplace poster titled "Your Rights as a Worker" and to the website Lni.wa.gov/workers-rights, which is run by the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries. A worker who believes they are being paid below $16.66 per hour — or below the applicable local rate — can file a wage complaint through that agency. The document does not list a phone number or physical office address, but the website provides the渠道 for reporting violations and obtaining further guidance on state wage requirements.
