Permanent contract staffing.

An applicant may request the department to establish permanent staffing on shifts using the application issued by the department:

(1) Requests for permanent staffing must be submitted to the department by July 5th for permanent staffing to be established that year. For FY 2025, the department will accept requests until September 5, 2024.

(a) Requests for permanent contract staffing of any night, swing or graveyard shift will be deemed to include a request for permanent contract staffing of the day shift.

(b) The requested shift(s) will be established if the department has an adequate number of trained personnel and the applicant and the department execute a permanent contract.

(2) When the department is able to staff the permanent night, swing, or graveyard shift(s) requested by the applicant, the overtime rate established under WAC 16-240-048 will be waived for the requested shift(s). Permanent staffing contracts will establish the billing structure for permanent staffing.

(3) Permanent staffing contracts lapse one year from the date that service is to commence under the agreement unless the contract is properly renewed by the applicant by sufficient written notice consistent with the terms of the permanent staffing contract.

(a) Termination requests must be received, in writing, at least 60 days before the termination may be effective, unless the parties mutually agree to an earlier termination date.

(b) Applicants will be charged for any shifts established in the permanent staffing contract until the termination notice period has expired.
