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.
Wyoming law doesn’t require employers to pay employees for jury duty.
Wyoming law allows employees one hour (other than meal times) to vote. This time off for voting doesn’t apply if there are three consecutive nonworking hours to vote. The employee must give notice of leave the day before the day of election and the employer can specify the hour for leave. Deductions of pay are not allowed if the employee actually votes.
Wyoming law provides that employers must not change any terms of employment for employees who are victims or witnesses, and take time off to respond to a subpoena.
