West Virginia Predictive Scheduling Law Status

West Virginia has not enacted predictive or fair workweek scheduling legislation, and no statute requires advance notice, predictability pay, or rest between shifts beyond federal standards. Wage and hour matters are governed by W. Va. Code 21-5 (wage payment) and 21-5C (minimum wage and overtime), creating a comprehensive state framework. Localities lack express authority to impose scheduling mandates on private employers and any such ordinance would likely conflict with the statewide wage-hour scheme.

There are no scheduling-specific penalties; wage payment claims under 21-5 may apply to certain shift-related disputes with civil remedies.
