Is the person a full-time, fully compensated employee?
In order to qualify as a fire fighter, an employee of a LEOFF employer must be full-time and fully compensated as a uniformed fire fighter. • “Full-time” means regularly scheduled to earn basic salary from an employer for a minimum of 160 hours each calendar month. Note: An employee does not have to work 160 hours during a month to be considered full-time during that month, provided that the person is regularly scheduled to work 160 hours each month. [WAC 415-104-011] • “Fully compensated” means the employee earns basic salary and benefits from an employer in an amount comparable to the salary received by other full-time employees who hold the same or similar rank in a similar position. Volunteer fire fighters or resident volunteer fire fighters are not fully compensated personnel and do not qualify for LEOFF membership.
