Summary of difference between federal and state regulations
The Fair Labor Standards Act does not require payment for time not worked. This type of benefit is generally a matter of agreement between an employer and an employee (or the employee’s representative). Employers, however, do need to comply with applicable state laws.
Jury duty
Mississippi law doesn’t require employers to pay employees on jury duty.
Voting
Mississippi doesn’t have a time-off-for-voting provision.
Attending criminal proceeding
Under Mississippi’s Crime Victims’ Bill of Rights, employees who are victims must be able to respond to a subpoena to testify in a criminal proceeding or participate in the reasonable preparation of criminal proceeding without loss of employment, intimidation, or threat or fear of the loss of employment.
