(1) DSHS limits the total compensation of an owner or an owner's relative to the ordinary compensation for necessary services actually performed.
- (a) Compensation is ordinary if it is the amount usually paid for comparable services in a comparable facility to an unrelated employee, and does not exceed limits established in this chapter.
- (b) A service is necessary if it is related to resident care and training and would have to be performed by another person if the owner or relative did not perform it.
- (2) A provider, in maintaining customary time records adequate for audit, must include time records for owners and relatives receiving compensation. These records must document how compensated time was spent performing necessary services.
- (3) For purposes of this section, if the provider is a corporation, "owner" includes all corporate officers and directors.
