WAC 314-17-030. Are employers responsible for ensuring that their employees have class 12 or 13 permits?

Yes. Any person who holds a license to sell liquor at an on-premises licensed facility must ensure that any person who engages in the sale or service of liquor for on-premises consumption, or who supervises such activities, has a current and valid class 12 or 13 permit within 60 calendar days of the date of hire. See RCW 66.20.310 for exceptions for grocery stores that have an on-premises liquor license. (1) A class 12 permit holder must be on an on-premises licensed facility to supervise the on-premises sale, service, and consumption of liquor. (2) A class 12 or 13 permit is the sole property of a permit holder.
