Washington State's prevailing wage laws must be followed when you work on public works projects. You must be familiar with the exemptions and laws that apply to your project in order to comply. Understanding the law will save you time, money, frustration, and effort.
WDLI
Washington's prevailing hourly wage, WDLI, is based a per-hour basis. This method is used when the working week is not set. The court ruled in favor of this method being adopted by Washington state courts. However, the FLSA was not incorporated by the Washington state legislature. Washington Supreme Court supported the per-hour system.
U.S. Department of Labor
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Washington State prevailing salary is a minimum wage that must be paid to workers for the actual work performed. However, some employees are exempt from paying themselves the prevailing wage, and owners are not required to do so. Owners and business partners that own 30% or more share in the business are exempt from the prevailing-wage requirements. Supervisors and foremen must still be paid at the prevailing wage and for all hours worked.
Industrial Statistician
The Industrial Statistician, Washington State, determines the prevailing rate of wage by surveying local companies. This survey collects data on the wages and hours worked by local businesses. The data is then processed and checked for accuracy. The Industrial Statistician updates the prevailing wage rates twice per year.
Public Works Act
The Washington State Department of Labor and Industries (DLI) determines the prevailing wage rates. This department examines wage levels and fringe benefits of various trades and occupations and determines the prevailing wage rates in each county. These prevailing wage levels are used to determine wages and fringe rewards paid to public work contractors.
Hourly rate
The Washington State Department of Labor and Industries determines the prevailing wages. The department researches average pay and benefits for different types of worker occupations and trades in order to set the prevailing wage rates for each county. These prevailing rates are determined by the wage conditions in that particular county.
Penalty for non-payment
The state of Washington enforces the Public Works Act, also known as the "prevailing wage" law, to ensure that workers are paid the prevailing wage when working on public works projects. These regulations define the minimum wage and mandate that contractors pay overtime. These prevailing wage rates are determined by the Department of Labor and Industries and vary by county and type of labor.

What is the purpose of the service agreement?
A Service Agreement is a contract that defines the terms and conditions under which a customer can purchase goods from your company. It also describes how you will offer those services to them as payment.
A Sales Order Form is the most popular form of this document. This section lists the products being purchased by the customer as well as their price. You can also list any other items such as delivery charges, VAT or insurance. Finally, you will specify when the order should delivery and be paid for.
You can use a different document depending upon the transaction's nature.
For example, if you are providing a service rather than selling a product, you may use an invoice instead.
You would probably use a Purchase Order Form if you buy something from someone else.
When drafting a sales order form, include all the information required.

Yes, both parties must sign the SCA. This means neither party can change their mind later without the other party's consent.
