(1) The provisions of this chapter shall apply to all affected employers within unincorporated Snohomish County.

(2) If an affected employer reduces the number of affected employees to below 100 the following provisions apply:

(a) It is the responsibility of the affected employer to notify the department of Public Works (DPW) in writing twice: first within 30 days of reducing its number of affected employees to less than 100; and second within 11 months of the first letter indicating if the total number of affected employees is still below 100. Failure to properly notify DPW will result in retention of affected employer status until proper notice is given.

(iii) if the employer returns to the level of 100 or more affected employees but not within the same 12-month period, that employer shall be treated as a newly affected employer and will be subject to the same program requirements as other newly affected employers.

(3) The following provisions apply to newly affected employers:

(a) The date upon which an employer is considered a newly affected employer is the due date for the next quarterly submittal of the Washington Department of Employment Security’s Employer’s Quarterly Report of Employee’s Wages after having achieved affected employer status.

(b) Newly affected employers shall identify themselves to DPW within six months of the date they become a newly affected employer.
