Louisiana Compensation

Louisiana does not have a state-mandated minimum wage.

Louisiana Payroll for Employers

In general, Louisiana employers are not required to pay wages at any prescribed frequency. Employers that fail to designate specific paydays, however, must pay wages on the first and 16th days of the month or as near to those days as possible.

All employees are covered, except those specifically exempt by statute; among those exempt are certain agricultural employees.
