Clawson v. Grays Harbor College District No. 2
Court of Appeals of Washington

1Opinion of the CourtColeman, J.
— Appellants are part-time community college faculty and are before this court on appeal from summary judgment dismissal of their claim for unpaid overtime wages. The sole issue on appeal is whether the faculty members’ compensation arrangements with the respondent colleges implicate the protections of Washington’s Minimum Wage Act (MWA). Because the faculty members are exempt from the act as persons employed in a “professional capacity’ and compensated on a “salary basis,” we affirm the trial court’s dismissal of their claim.
