Deputy Sheriff Vacation Carryforward Increased to 60 Days
West Virginia Legislative Events
Summary
West Virginia HB5564 deputy sheriff vacation carryforward increased to 60 days
What changed
West Virginia HB5564 amends state law to increase the maximum amount of accrued vacation time that deputy sheriffs may carry forward from one calendar year to the next from 30 days to 60 days. This change applies to all deputy sheriffs employed by county governments throughout the state.
County employers and sheriff's departments should review and update their personnel policies, employee handbooks, and HR systems to reflect the new 60-day carryforward limit. Deputy sheriffs will now have greater flexibility in managing their accrued vacation time without risk of losing unused days above the cap.
What to do next
- Update county HR policies to reflect 60-day vacation carryforward limit for deputy sheriffs
- Notify affected deputy sheriffs of increased vacation carryforward entitlement
