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
Oklahoma law doesn’t require private employers to pay employees for jury duty.
Oklahoma law requires state employees to be paid for jury duty.
Voting
Oklahoma law allows employees two hours off to vote. If two hours aren’t enough then the employee should be give sufficient time to vote. Pay deductions are not allowed if the employee provides proof of voting. This time off for voting doesn’t apply if there are three consecutive nonworking hours before or after the shift to vote. Employee must request leave of absence prior to the day of election and the employer can specify the hours taken off.
