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
North Dakota law does not require private sector employers to pay employees serving on jury duty.
North Dakota law requires public sector employees to be paid for jury duty, minus any fee received from the court.
Voting
North Dakota law encourages employers to establish a program to grant an employee who is a qualified voter to be absent from the employee’s employment for the purpose of voting unless the employee has time to vote during nonworking hours.
Criminal justice proceeding
North Dakota law provides that employers of victims and witnesses must cooperate with the criminal justice process in order to minimize an employee's loss of pay and other benefits resulting from court appearances.
