West Virginia SB240 approves overtime pay for teachers, requiring preapproval from the State Board of Education and school principal.

West Virginia SB240 amends the state's code to allow teachers to receive overtime pay for work assignments on weekends or beyond normal workweek hours, provided it is preapproved by the State Board of Education and the school principal. The bill specifies that overtime work on a Saturday or Sunday must be at least half the teacher's daily regular pay. The State Board of Education is tasked with establishing the rate of overtime pay for teachers and calculating the overtime based on the state's minimum salary schedule.
