Mississippi HB360 mandates that school districts compensate noninstructional and hourly school employees at their usual rates whenever schools are temporarily closed due to extreme weather, illness, or other reasons. This includes employees not under contract with the school district. The compensation must match the amount they would have earned if the schools had not been closed. The act specifies that hourly employees must be paid for the hours they would have worked, while those with variable hours receive pay based on their average daily hours.
