Summary of differences between federal and state regulations
The federal Fair Labor Standards Act does not require payment for time not worked, nor does it regulate vacation pay, holiday pay, or other paid time off. These types of benefits are 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
Arkansas does not require a private sector employer to pay wages to an employee for time spent during jury service.
Paid time off (PTO)
Arkansas law does not require vacation pay. However, if an employer chooses to provide paid time off benefits, it must follow the terms and conditions established in its policy.
Victims of crime
Under Arkansas law, an employer may not discipline a victim for participating, at the prosecuting attorney's request, in preparation for a criminal justice proceeding; or for attending a criminal justice proceeding if the attendance is necessary to protect the interests of the victim. There is no provision that the time off must be compensated.
Voting
For all elections, Arkansas allows an employee adequate time to vote. No mention is made of deduction of pay.
