Timing Requirements for Wage Payments in Mississippi

Mississippi's wage payment law covers manufacturing corporations, companies, associations, partnerships and individuals employing 50 or more employees and employing public labor, and public service corporations.

Employees must be paid at least every two weeks, twice during calendar month, or the second and fourth Saturday of each month; a holdover of 10 days is permitted, except for public service corporations, which have a 15-day holdover period. The requirement that employees be paid at least twice a month does not apply to any exempt employee.
