Title
AN ORDINANCE requiring notice of a county agency's determination of an overpayment of wages and establishing an adjudicative proceeding for review of an agency's denial of a nonrepresented employee's challenge to an agency's determination of an overpayment of wages; and amending Ordinance 12014, Section 15, as amended, and K.C.C. 3.12.120.
Body
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
1. State law, in RCW 49.48.200 and 49.48.210, establishes a process for determining the amount of and collection of any overpayment of wages received by a nonrepresented county employee.
2. The statutory process includes notice requirements and multiple steps to determine the amount, if any, of the overpayment. These steps include: an initial determination and notice to the nonrepresented employee about the overpayment; an opportunity for the employee to challenge the determination; employer review of the challenge and notice to the employee of the employer's decision regarding the challenge; and an opportunity for the employee to obtain review of the employer's decision in an adjudicative proceeding that can be provided for by ordinance. This ordinance establishes an adjudicative proceeding for that review.
