West Virginia paystub law

What West Virginia law actually requires on a paystub.

Wage statement requirements

West Virginia Code § 21-5-9 (Wage Payment and Collection Act) requires employers to furnish each employee with an itemized statement of wages and deductions for each pay period. The W.V. Department of Labor enforces violations through its Wage and Hour Section. Paydays must be at least bi-weekly. West Virginia has a graduated state income tax (top marginal around 5.12%, transitioning lower) that appears on most stubs.

Using a West Virginia paystub for proof of income

Charleston, Huntington, and Morgantown rental markets generally follow mainstream 3× rent verification at more affordable price points than coastal states. Coal industry workers in southern West Virginia produce institutional paystubs that local landlords recognize; some coal-region landlords are accustomed to seeing UMW union deductions and welfare-fund contributions as separate lines. Tourism workers in the New River Gorge / Greenbrier corridor often have seasonal variability.
