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
Oklahoma law doesn’t require private employers to pay employees for jury duty.
Oklahoma law requires state employees to be paid for jury duty.
Paid time off (PTO)
Oklahoma 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.
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.
