Sales personnel with outside duties, messengers, insurance producers or surplus line brokers, social workers and dieticians employed by a home health care service
Although referenced as sales personnel, this classification also applies to others with similar type activities. While some duties may be performed in a business office, the work is often conducted away from the employer's physical business location or in showrooms. We refer to work that takes place away from the employer's premises as "outside sales."
Classification
6303 is a standard exception classification, as described in WAC
296-17-
31018
Exception classifications, with restrictions on both the type of work and where the work can take place. If any of a worker's duties are excluded from
6303 because of restrictions described in this rule, then none of the worker's hours may be reported in classification
6303.
Special note: Care must be taken to:
• Look beyond job titles such as salesperson, social worker, or messenger. Job titles do not ensure the work satisfies the restrictions for classification
6303;
• Ensure standard exceptions are permitted - Some basic classifications include sales work;
• Ensure workers assigned classification
6303 perform no work other than what is allowed by this classification or that permitted in WAC
296-17-

These agencies provide care for the elderly, or individuals who need the continuous care and supervision that hospitals and nursing facilities provide, or people living with disabilities.
