In addition to the pay periods permitted under RCW 36.17.040, the legislative authority of any county may establish a biweekly pay period where county officers and employees receive their compensation not later than seven days following the end of each two week pay period for services rendered during that pay period.

     However, in a county that has assumed the rights, powers, functions, and obligations of a metropolitan municipal corporation under chapter 36.56 RCW, the county legislative authority may establish a biweekly pay period where the county officers and employees receive their compensation not later than thirteen days following the end of each two-week pay period for services rendered during that pay period.
