W. Va. Code R. § 133-55-9

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 50, December 13, 2024

Section 133-55-9 - Pay Calculations

9.1. Base salary is calculated on a thirty-seven and one-half (37 1/2) hour workweek.

9.2. When base salary increases are calculated and rounding is involved, the policy is to round up to the nearest even dollar amount.

9.3. Overtime pay for non-exempt employees is calculated at the rate of one and one-half (1 1/2) times the regular hourly rate, which is the total base salary, plus any incremental pay, divided by 1,950 hours. Overtime does not commence until forty (40) hours have actually been worked within one (1) workweek. Regular hourly pay, also known as "straight time," is paid for work time between thirty-seven and one-half (37 1/2) hours and forty (40) hours in a work week.

9.4. Only actual hours worked are included in calculating overtime. Pay which is received for holidays, annual leave, sick leave, or work release time, as authorized by Series 38, is not counted as working hours for purposes of overtime.

9.5. Annual leave, sick leave and longevity do not accumulate in any part of a month for which an employee is off the payroll on leave without pay or during a terminal leave period. A terminal leave period is that time between the employee's last day of work and his/her last day on the payroll. Longevity continues to accrue for employees absent from work and off the payroll when the absence is due to a work related illness or injury covered by workers compensation, or is due to military service in accordance with applicable federal law.
