Bill > HB96

This bill establishes the Mississippi Minimum Wage Law, setting the state minimum wage at $10.00 per hour. It provides that employers with tipped employees are exempt from the requirement to pay the state minimum wage, and it establishes guidelines for employees entitled to overtime pay. The bill also brings forward several existing sections of the Mississippi Code for possible amendment, including provisions related to the state auditor's internship program, local minimum wage laws, poll manager training, the state compensation plan, leave policies for school employees, the Alabama-Mississippi Joint Economic Development Authority, garnishment of wages, and the Mississippi Human Trafficking Act.
