Minimum hours between shifts in west virginia?

[treasigh]

I have been searching for labor laws and such and can't find an answer to this. Does anyone know if there is a minimum number of hours required between shifts in West Virginia? My reason for asking is that I am often scheduled until 10PM and then have to return the following morning at 4AM (which is only 6 hours) and it is inconvenient for me because I have a 25 minute drive to and from work. Any answers are greatly appreciated.

Unless you are in one of the few industry-specific exceptions where there is a public safety factor, there is no law in any of the 50 states which requires you to have 8 hours off between shifts.

There should be a phone number under Labor Relations Board in your phone book-check the blue pages or go to your State of West Virginia site. They should have a number you can call.
