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: At the end of two years of service with the West
Virginia State Police, the member shall receive a salary increase
of $400 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 of this code to establish the
number of hours per month which constitute the standard work month
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 work month.
The superintendent shall certify monthly to the West Virginia State
Police's payroll officer the names of those members who have worked
in excess of the standard work month and the amount of their
entitlement to supplemental payment. The supplemental payment may
not exceed $236 monthly. 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 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.
(i) 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 thirty 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.

(b) Six hundred dollars shall be paid annually to each
classroom teacher who has at least twenty years of teaching
experience. The payments: (i) Shall be in addition to any amounts
prescribed in the applicable state minimum salary schedule; (ii)
shall be paid in equal monthly installments; and (iii) shall be
considered a part of the state minimum salaries for teachers.
§18A-4-5. Salary equity among the counties; state salary
supplement.
(a) For the purposes of this section, salary equity among the
counties means that the salary potential of school employees
employed by the various districts throughout the state does not
differ by greater than ten percent between those offering the
highest salaries and those offering the lowest salaries. In the
case of professional educators, the difference shall be calculated
utilizing the average of the professional educator salary
schedules, degree classifications B.A. through doctorate and the
years of experience provided for in the most recent state minimum
salary schedule for teachers, in effect in the five counties
offering the highest salary schedules compared to the lowest salary
schedule in effect among the fifty-five counties. In the case of
school service personnel, the difference shall be calculated
utilizing the average of the school service personnel salary
schedules, pay grades "A" through "H" and the years of experience
provided for in the most recent state minimum pay scale pay grade
for service personnel, in effect in the five counties offering the
highest salary schedules compared to the lowest salary schedule in
effect among the fifty-five counties. Effective July 1, 2013, for
both professional educators and school service personnel, the
differences shall be calculated as otherwise required by this
subsection except that the ten counties offering the highest salary
schedules shall be compared to the lowest salary schedule in effect
among the fifty-five counties.
(b) To assist the state in meeting its objective of salary
equity among the counties, as defined in subsection (a) of this
section, on and after July 1, 1984, subject to available state
appropriations and the conditions set forth herein, each teacher
and school service personnel shall receive a supplemental amount in
addition to the amount from the state minimum salary schedules
provided for in this article.
(c) State funds for this purpose shall be paid within the West
Virginia public school support plan in accordance with article
nine-a, chapter eighteen of this code. The amount allocated for
salary equity shall be apportioned between teachers and school
service personnel in direct proportion to that amount necessary to
support the professional salaries and service personnel salaries
statewide under sections four, five and eight, article nine-a,
chapter eighteen of this code.
(d) Pursuant to this section, each teacher and school service
personnel shall receive the amount
indicated on the applicable
State Equity Supplement Schedule or Pay Scale for 2010-11,
maintained by the West Virginia Department of Education,
reduced by
any amount provided by the county as a salary supplement for
teachers and school service personnel on January 1, 1984: Provided,
That effective July 1, 2011, the amounts indicated on the State
Equity Supplement Pay Scale for service personnel is increased by
$37 across-the-board.
(e) The amount received pursuant to this section shall not be
decreased as a result of any county supplement increase instituted after January 1, 1984: Provided, That any amount received pursuant
to this section may be reduced proportionately based upon the
amount of funds appropriated for this purpose. No county may
reduce any salary supplement that was in effect on January 1, 1984,
except as permitted by sections five-a and five-b of this article.
(f) During its 2011 interim meetings, the Legislative
Oversight Commission on Education Accountability shall conduct a
study on whether a recommendation should be made to the Legislature
for establishing the State Equity Supplement Schedule and the
State
Equity Supplement Pay Scale
in statute.
§18A-4-8a. Service personnel minimum monthly salaries.
(a) The minimum monthly pay for each service employee shall be
as follows:
(1) Effective July 1, 2010, through June 30, 2011, the
minimum
monthly pay for each service employee whose employment is for a
period of more than three and one-half hours a day shall be at
least the amounts indicated in the 2010-2011 State Minimum Pay
Scale Pay Grade and the minimum monthly pay for each service
employee whose employment is for a period of three and one-half
hours or less a day shall be at least one-half the amount indicated
in the 2010-2011
State Minimum Pay Scale Pay Grade set forth in
this subdivision.
Beginning July 1, 2011, and continuing thereafter, the minimum
monthly pay for each service employee whose employment is for a
period of more than three and one-half hours a day shall be at
least the amounts indicated in the 2011-2012 State Minimum Pay Scale Pay Grade and the minimum monthly pay for each service
employee whose employment is for a period of three and one-half

§50-1-3. Salaries of magistrates.
(a) The Legislature finds and declares that:
(1) The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals has held that

that each magistrate serves does not violate the equal protection
clause of the Constitution of the United States;
(2) The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals has held that
a salary system for magistrates which is based upon the population
that each magistrate serves does not violate section thirty-nine,
article VI of the Constitution of West Virginia;
(3) The utilization of a two-tiered salary schedule for
magistrates is an equitable and rational manner by which
magistrates should be compensated for work performed;
(4) Organizing the two tiers of the salary schedule into one
tier for magistrates serving less than eight thousand four hundred
in population and the second tier for magistrates serving eight
thousand four hundred or more in population is rational and
equitable given current statistical information relating to
population and caseload; and
(5) That all magistrates who fall under the same tier should
be compensated equally.
(b) The salary of each magistrate shall be paid by the state.
Magistrates who serve fewer than eight thousand four hundred in
population shall be paid annual salaries of thirty thousand six
hundred twenty-five dollars and magistrates who serve eight
thousand four hundred or more in population shall be paid annual
salaries of thirty-seven thousand dollars
: Provided, That on and
after the first day of July, two thousand three, magistrates who
serve fewer than eight thousand four hundred in population shall be
paid annual salaries of thirty-three thousand six hundred
twenty-five dollars and magistrates who serve eight thousand four
hundred or more in population shall be paid annual salaries of
forty thousand dollars
: Provided, however, That on and after the
first day of July, two thousand five, magistrates who serve fewer
than eight thousand four hundred in population shall be paid annual

population shall be paid annual salaries of fifty thousand dollars.
Provided further, That on and after the first day of July, 2011, magistrates who serve fewer than eight thousand four hundred in

population as determined by the last preceding decennial census
taken under the authority of the United States government.
