In 2026, the state minimum wage is $17.13 per hour, although some cities may require employers to pay more. Truck drivers and other transportation workers may be paid by the hour, by the mile, by the delivery, or in other ways. How you are paid does not mean your employer can ignore minimum wage laws. If you believe you are not being paid at least minimum wage for all the time you work, you may have a wage claim.<\/div><h3>Meal and Rest Break Violations<\/h3><div>Washington generally requires employees to get a paid 10-minute rest break for every four hours worked. If you work more than five hours, you generally must also get a 30-minute meal break. For truck drivers and other transportation workers, taking these breaks can be difficult. You may be told to keep driving, stay available for dispatch, make deliveries, or deal with customers during your break. If you are still working during your meal break, your employer may need to pay you for that time. This can also be a problem if your employer automatically takes meal breaks out of your paycheck even though you were still working.

Unlike workers who report to the same workplace every day, transportation employees may spend most of their workday on the road, moving between different locations, customers, terminals, and job sites. You may start your day at one location and finish it somewhere completely different, making it harder to track exactly when your workday began, when it ended, or how much time you actually spent working. The industry is also spread out by nature. A driver may arrive early to inspect and prepare a vehicle, wait for dispatch, travel between locations, make an unscheduled stop, load or unload a vehicle, or complete paperwork and other tasks after the final delivery. If you don&#8217;t report back to the same location where you started, those extra hours and minutes can be particularly easy to overlook or go unreported altogether.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19373b31 gnpg-lft-cnt elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"19373b31\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Compensation systems can add another layer of confusion. Transportation workers may be paid by the mile, by the hour, by the delivery or trip, through commissions, or through a combination of wages, bonuses, and other incentives. As a result, employees may not always realize when they are entitled to additional compensation. Some employees may assume that:<\/p><ul><li>&#8220;I&#8217;m paid by the mile, so overtime doesn&#8217;t apply.&#8221;<\/li><li>&#8220;My employer said I can&#8217;t record those extra minutes.&#8221;<\/li><li>&#8220;I was told to clock out before finishing the delivery.&#8221;<\/li><li>&#8220;Everyone works through lunch.&#8221;<\/li><li>&#8220;I&#8217;m salaried, so I can&#8217;t receive overtime.&#8221;<\/li><li>&#8220;I&#8217;m an independent contractor, so wage laws don&#8217;t protect me.&#8221;<\/li><li>&#8220;My employer&#8217;s handbook says I have to get approval before working overtime.&#8221;<\/li><\/ul><p>Those assumptions are not necessarily correct. Whether you are entitled to overtime or other wage protections depends on the actual circumstances of your employment, including your duties, compensation method, classification, and whether a specific exemption applies. In Washington, certain exemptions depend on specific job duties and compensation requirements, meaning your job title alone does not determine whether you are exempt from overtime protections. If you are unsure whether you are being paid correctly, our team can review how you are actually being compensated and determine whether your employer may owe you unpaid wages.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7dc37bde e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7dc37bde\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6921e998 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6921e998\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-79bb5a06 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"79bb5a06\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4020a70b gnpg-lft-cnt elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4020a70b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>How the James Hawkins Firm Can Help<\/h2><div>Washington has strong laws that protect workers from unfair pay.

For example, a transportation company may have a common policy or practice requiring drivers to work through meal periods, perform pre-shift work without pay, automatically deduct time that employees actually worked, or improperly classify a group of workers as exempt or independent contractors. When the same or similar wage and hour practices affect multiple employees, James Hawkins Firm can investigate whether a group claim or class action may be appropriate. A class or group case can allow employees with similar claims to pursue their rights together rather than each worker having to proceed entirely on their own. Not every workplace dispute qualifies for a class action, and the requirements depend on the facts and applicable law. Our attorneys can evaluate whether your circumstances may support a collective or class proceeding.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-49e9a7c5 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"49e9a7c5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;gradient&quot;}\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af74f92 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"af74f92\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76f13c29 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"76f13c29\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-382e2fb0 e-con-full fqs-ttl-txt e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"382e2fb0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-62babf24 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget-mobile__width-inherit elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"62babf24\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24737345 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"24737345\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-155a54a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"155a54a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Below are answers to some of the most common questions we hear about wage and hour claims for Seattle transportation workers.

The circumstances matter, and retaliation may present a separate legal claim from the underlying wage violation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-3476\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"7\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-3476\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> What if several employees have the same wage problem? <\/div><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-icon'>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-opened' ><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-down\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class='e-closed'><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-down\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n\t\t\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-3476\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e170738 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e170738\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-accordion-item-3476\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66fc64e3 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"66fc64e3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-186b6cd1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"186b6cd1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>You may not be the only employee affected.
