by Gregory Williams, Esq. | Under Washington State Human Rights Commission (WSHRC) Practice-and-Procedure Regulations, what are the guidelines regarding referrals to staff? Here’s my point of view (NOTE: please read our DISCLAIMER before proceeding).
REFERRALS TO STAFF
WAC 162-08-093 is the relevant regulation, and it addresses referrals to staff as follows:
Unless the chairperson of the commission directs otherwise for a particular complaint, all complaints shall be investigated by the section of the staff designated for that purpose by the executive director, and the executive director shall have full power to assign and reassign cases for investigation by particular staff persons, and to assign and reassign staff persons to the section of the staff that investigates complaints, on a full-time or part-time basis.
WAC 162-08-093 (emphasis added) (hyperlinks added).
