If you are owed wages
Where to file a wage claim in Mississippi
Mississippi has no state wage claim process of its own. An unpaid wage or overtime complaint goes to the federal Division: how to file a complaint with the Wage and Hour Division explains what to send and where. The Division also keeps a search of back wages owed to workers it collected and could not deliver.
Straight answers
Mississippi wage and hour records, questions
How many wage and hour cases does the Labor Department record in Mississippi?
4,523 closed investigations of 3,752 employers between fiscal 2005 and the April 22, 2026 snapshot, 3,747 of them with a violation found, with $44,755,966 in back wages agreed and $5,846,442 in civil money penalties.
Which Mississippi employer owed the most back wages?
Kellogg, Brown and Root Services Inc. of Gulfport, with $1,113,435 agreed across 1 case, which is the top of the table above.
Does this record include claims filed with the state?
No. It is the federal file alone: investigations the Wage and Hour Division closed. Claims filed with a state labor office, private lawsuits and settlements are not in it, so an employer missing here is not an employer with a clean record.
What does back wages agreed mean?
The amount the employer agreed to pay the workers the Division found were owed, computed at the federal minimum wage and overtime rates. It is not a court judgment, and the file records the agreement, not whether every dollar was paid.
How current is the record?
The Department refreshes the file about once a quarter. This page reads the snapshot dated April 22, 2026, whose latest closed case is from March 2026.

Where this record comes from
The record comes from the Wage and Hour Division compliance action data published by the U.S. Department of Labor, snapshot dated April 22, 2026 and read for this page on November 5, 2026, counted here by employer, year, industry, county and city for Mississippi alone. The Wage and Hour Division made the findings. The Mississippi public records page lists the state's other record offices, and the national wage theft records page ranks every state.
