W. Va. Code R. § 133-55-6 - Part-Time and Temporary Employees

6.1. Institutions are discouraged from hiring part-time employees solely to avoid the payment of benefits or in lieu of full-time employees and shall provide all classified employees with less than twelve month appointments with the opportunity to accept part-time or full-time summer employment before new persons are hired for the part-time or full-time employment, provided the classified employee meets the established position qualifications.

6.2. Change in status. The president or his/her designee will review and make a final determination as to the status or change in status of any employee. Determination of status or change in status means assignment to, or change in the type of employment or the category to which an employee is assigned.

6.3. When the president or his/her designee determines that a part-time regular employee becomes a full-time regular employee, he/she shall credit that employee's previous service toward any calculation of length of service for purposes of this rule and benefit eligibility based upon a prorated comparison against a 1.00 FTE. Previous length of service as temporary, casual, and student employees shall not be credited toward seniority calculations under other sections of this rule or statute.
