WV- sleep hours question (Employment & Labor Law)

Wed, 05 Oct 2005 19:34:00 GMT

I've got a question regarding sleep hours in WV. Where we work we sign a paper that shows that me acknowledge that we work a 56 hour shift and get paid for 40, this docks out 2, 8 hour sleep periods. Should employees get payed for other sleep periods after the 56 hours? What I am sayign is if I work from WED. @lawknowledge.org. 3 until FRI. @lawknowledge.org. 11 thats a 56 hour shift, but what if the employer schedules you to come in WED.@lawknowledge.org. 3 until SAT @lawknowledge.org. 11. Should you get paid 8 for WED., 16 FOR THURS., AND 16 for FRI. Plus 8 for sleeping over your 56 then 16 for SAT.?

2 Sleep periods docked then 1 PAID due to it being over 56 hours?
