Paying Terminated Employees in Washington

In Washington, laborers who are discharged or who withdraw must be paid at the end of the current pay period, in cash or by order redeemable in cash at face value in the county where the labor was performed, unless the place of employment is more convenient to the employee, then the order may be made payable in another county. The provisions pertaining to employees who are discharged or withdrawn do not apply to employment that normally involves working for several employers in the same industry interchangeably and for which a plan for the weekly payment of wages at a central place or places has been duly set up in accordance with the statutory provisions.
