Employment law in West Virginia sets the rules that protect both employees and employers. It covers workplace rights such as fair wages, protection from discrimination, safe working conditions, and rules around hiring or termination. State law, alongside federal laws like the Civil Rights Act, prohibits discrimination based on race, religion, gender, disability, age, or other protected traits. Workers are also entitled to minimum wage, overtime pay for qualifying hours, and safeguards against retaliation for reporting violations. Understanding these rights helps prevent workplace disputes and ensures fair treatment.
