Beginning July 1, 2019, the annual salaries for members of each of the West Virginia State Police, the Administration Support Specialists, and the Criminalist classifications set forth in the schedules in this subsection shall be increased an additional $432.
Each member of the West Virginia State Police whose salary is fixed and specified in this annual salary schedule is entitled to the length of service increases set forth in subsection (e) of this section and supplemental pay as provided in subsection (g) of this section.
(e) Each member of the West Virginia State Police whose salary is fixed and specified pursuant to this section shall receive, and is entitled to, an increase in salary over that set forth in subsection (d) of this section for grade in rank, based on length of service, including that service served before and after the effective date of this section with the West Virginia State Police as follows: Beginning on January 1, 2015, and continuing thereafter, at the end of two years of service with the West Virginia State Police, the member shall receive a salary increase of $500 to be effective during his or her next year of service and a like increase at yearly intervals thereafter, with the increases to be cumulative.
(f) In applying the salary schedules set forth in this section where salary increases are provided for length of service, members of the West Virginia State Police in service at the time the schedules become effective shall be given credit for prior service and shall be paid the salaries the same length of service entitles them to receive under the provisions of this section.
(g) The Legislature finds and declares that because of the unique duties of members of the West Virginia State Police, it is not appropriate to apply the provisions of state wage and hour laws to them. Accordingly, members of the West Virginia State Police are excluded from the provisions of state wage and hour law. This express exclusion shall not be construed as any indication that the members were or were not covered by the wage and hour law prior to this exclusion.
In lieu of any overtime pay they might otherwise have received under the wage and hour law, and in addition to their salaries and increases for length of service, members who have completed basic training and who are exempt from federal Fair Labor Standards Act guidelines may receive supplemental pay as provided in this section.
The authority of the superintendent
to propose a legislative rule or amendment thereto for promulgation in
accordance with article three, chapter twenty-nine-a §29A-3-1 et
seq. of this code to establish the number of hours per month which
constitute the standard pay period for the members of the West Virginia State
Police is hereby continued. The rule shall further establish, on a graduated
hourly basis, the criteria for receipt of a portion or all of supplemental
payment when hours are worked in excess of the standard pay period. The
superintendent shall certify at least twice per month to the West Virginia
State Police’s payroll officer the names of those members who have worked in
excess of the standard pay period and the amount of their entitlement to
supplemental payment. The supplemental payment may not exceed $200 per pay
period. The superintendent and civilian employees of the West Virginia State
Police are not eligible for any supplemental payments.
(h) Each member of the West Virginia State Police, except the superintendent and civilian employees, shall execute, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, a bond with security in the sum of $5,000 payable to the State of West Virginia, conditioned upon the faithful performance of his or her duties, and the bond shall be approved as to form by the Attorney General and as to sufficiency by the Governor.
(i) In consideration for
compensation paid by the West Virginia State Police to its members during those
members’ participation in the West Virginia State Police Cadet Training Program
pursuant to section eight, article twenty-nine, chapter thirty §30-29-8
of this code, the West Virginia State Police may require of its members by
written agreement entered into with each of them in advance of such participation
in the program that, if a member should voluntarily discontinue employment any
time within one year immediately following completion of the training program,
he or she shall be obligated to pay to the West Virginia State Police a pro
rata portion of such compensation equal to that part of such year which the
member has chosen not to remain in the employ of the West Virginia State
Police.
(j) Any member of the West Virginia State Police who is called to perform active duty training or inactive duty training in the National Guard or any reserve component of the armed forces of the United States annually shall be granted, upon request, leave time not to exceed 30 calendar days for the purpose of performing the active duty training or inactive duty training and the time granted may not be deducted from any leave accumulated as a member of the West Virginia State Police.

(2) The amount derived from the calculation in subdivision (1) of this subsection is increased by one half percent;
(3) The amount derived from the calculation in subdivision (2) of this subsection is the basic foundation allowance to the county for professional student support personnel for the two thousand nine fiscal year;
(4) For fiscal years two thousand ten, two thousand eleven, two thousand twelve and two thousand thirteen, the basic foundation allowance to the county for professional student support personnel increases by one-half percent per year over the allowance for the previous year; and
(5) For all fiscal years thereafter, the basic foundation allowance to the county for professional student support personnel remains the same amount as in the two thousand thirteen fiscal year, plus any additional amount of funding necessary to cover the increases in the State Minimum Salary Schedule set forth in §18A-4-2 of this code effective for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018, and thereafter.

of $164 per month, subject to the provisions of that section. These payments:
(i) Are in addition to any amounts prescribed in the applicable State Minimum

and article and any county supplement in effect in a county pursuant to section five-b of this article §18A-4-5b of this
code; (ii) are paid in equal monthly installments; and (iii) are

pay is approved both by the county board and by the affirmative vote of a
two-thirds majority of the regular full-time persons within that classification
category of employment within that county: Provided, however, That the
vote is by secret ballot if requested by a service person within that
classification category within that county. The salary for any fraction of an
hour the employee is involved in performing the assignment is prorated
accordingly. When performing extra duty assignments, persons who are regularly

The employer shall provide all necessary protective equipment and maintain all records required by the Environmental Protection Act.

for additional pay as provided in section eight of this article §18A-5-8
of this code, an aide is considered to be exercising the authority of a
supervisory aide and control over pupils if the aide is required to supervise,
control, direct, monitor, escort, or render service to a child or children when
not under the direct supervision of a certified professional person within the
classroom, library, hallway, lunchroom, gymnasium, school building, school
grounds, or wherever supervision is required. For purposes of this section,
“under the direct supervision of a certified professional person” means that
certified professional person is present, with and accompanying the aide.
