AI HubDefining Full-Time Work in West Virginia: Hours, Rights, and Benefits
This video covers how “full-time” and “part-time” status is defined for workers in West Virginia (the state does not mandate a specific full-time hour threshold; it is determined by the employer). It also reviews mandatory rest breaks (at least a 20-minute rest period every six hours) under state rules.
Who we empower every day
By Role
- Agency Owners – Set clear employment classifications, rest-break policies and compensation frameworks for caregivers.
By Persona
- Supervisors – Assign shifts consistent with employment status, ensure rest breaks are logged and meet state rules.
- Care Managers – Monitor staffing compliance, shift length, break adherence and client-care continuity.
- Billers/Payroll – Ensure compliance with wage/break/shift rules, avoid liability for mis-classified workers.
- Schedulers – Build shifts that respect rest-breaks, shift length and classification boundaries to protect staff and service quality.
- Caregivers – Understand their rights regarding rest breaks, shift length, assignment classification and expectations.
- On-Call/Backup Coordinators – Manage emergent coverage with respect for classification, breaks and staff welfare.
While the EVV system captures visit times and locations, legal compliance around worker classification, rest-breaks, shift lengths and compensation is equally important. Integrating shift-scheduling, EVV capture, break-tracking and payroll workflows protects your agency from operational and legal risk.
