wv- sleep time law question (Employment & Labor Law)

Wed, 05 Oct 2005 19:31:00 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?

  • You are obviously in a position that requires full coverage and it is possible that there are specific overtime laws that address such unique situations where sleep time can be compensated and is probably so position and industry specific that you will have to contact the state Dept. of Labor to inquire. Such positions in which you get paid for sleeping time are, in my experience, subject to exceptions. Sorry I couldn't help.
