Minimum wage; establish at $10.00 and set requirements for exemptions and overtime.
HB 364 would establish Mississippi's minimum wage at $10.00 per hour for most workers, while allowing employers to pay tipped employees a base rate of $3.62 per hour (with tips making up the difference). It requires overtime pay at 1.5 times the regular rate for employees earning $455 or less weekly, specifically mandating overtime for manual laborers, public safety workers (like police and firefighters), and non-management staff. The bill references several existing Mississippi Code sections for potential amendment but does not change broader labor laws. The bill died in committee in February 2025 and did not become law.
