Mississippi has no state minimum wage or overtime law, so the federal FLSA governs in full: 1.5× after 40 hours a week and a $7.25 floor. There's no state daily overtime.

  • 1.5× pay for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek.
  • No daily overtime or double time — federal law is the whole rulebook.
  • Mississippi has no state minimum wage, so the federal $7.25 applies.

Because Mississippi sets no wage rules of its own, overtime and minimum-wage claims are federal. The Mississippi Department of Employment Security handles other labor programs.
