Abstract: Using the Zhu algebra for a certain category of $mathbbC$-graded vertex algebras $V$, we prove that if $V$ is finitely $Omega$-generated and satisfies suitable grading conditions, then $V$ is rational, i.e. has semi-simple representation theory, with one dimensional level zero Zhu algebra. Here $Omega$ denotes the vectors in $V$ that are annihilated by lowering the real part of the grading. We apply our result to the family of rank one Weyl vertex algebras with conformal element $omeg{a}_{m}u$ parameterized by $muinmathbbC$, and prove that for certain non-integer values of $mu$, these vertex algebras, which are non-integer graded, are rational, with one dimensional level zero Zhu algebra. In addition, we generalize this result to appropriate $mathbbC$-graded Weyl vertex algebras of arbitrary ranks.
