Does the LWO apply to all social service agencies that receive a large enough subsidy to be covered?
No. The agency has to have at least 15 employees to be covered. (BMC 2.28.020(c)(7)(b).) The LWO does not apply to smaller social service agencies. If the LWO would apply to a subsidy but for the small size of the agency, the agency needs to complete a LWO exemption certification. This exemption form is available on-line (DOC 169.50 KB) or from the contract compliance officer.
