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
Montana doesn’t require private employers to pay employees on jury duty.
Montana law requires state employees to be paid for jury duty. However, the employee must turn over all fees and allowances payable as a result of the duty and forward them the state.
Voting
Montana doesn’t have a time-off-for-voting provision.
Criminal justice proceeding
Under Montana law, employers may not discharge or discipline a victim or a member of the victim's family for participation at the prosecuting attorney's request in preparation for or attendance at a criminal justice proceeding.
"Member of the victim's family" means the victim's spouse, child by birth or adoption, stepchild, parent, stepparent, or sibling, but does not include a person who is accountable for the crime or accountable for a crime arising from the same transaction.
