 141 Wn.2d 517, INNISS v. TANDY CORP.
Respondent Tandy Corporation defined "regular rate" as the "weekly base salary amount" divided by the "number of hours worked in the workweek." Petitioners Inniss, Lopez and Haq contend that because their total work hours fluctuate from week to week, Respondent's definition violates the Washington Minimum Wage Act when calculating overtime compensation under RCW 49.46.130(1).
Regardless what our reaction may be to the compensation provided its management employees by Respondent Tandy Corporation, we note that in this case it is based upon voluntary acceptance by Petitioner employees of the compensation plan promulgated in writing by Respondent employer.
This is particularly so where the concept of a so-called fluctuating workweek detracts from the clear policy of overtime wage compensation expressed in RCW 49.46.130.
