State legislators are paid meager salaries. Senators and representatives alike earn only $7,200 per year, or $14,400 for a two-year legislative period. Some may consider this salary generous, since after all legislators work only for 140 days over two years. However, this salary equals just slightly over $100 per day. Even if our legislators worked only eight hours per day, this would equal only $12.86 per hour for the people who make our state laws and conduct oversight of executive branch offices. The truth is that legislators work for many days leading up to the legislative session, and then work very long hours, seven days a week, once the session begins. Furthermore, legislators spend a lot of time campaigning for office and subsequently servicing constituents. This reduces hourly compensation to well below minimum wage.

Parliament has three sessions in each year. They are:Budget session: 20-35 days in the months of February to May.Monsoon session: 20-35 days in the months of July to August.Winter session: 20-34 days in the months of November to December
Tennessee legislators base salary is approximately $19,008 per year. They also receive an allowance for an office back home of $12,000 per year. In addition they will receive mileage of 45 cents per mile round trip, however this expense can only be claimed one day per week and only if they make the trip to Nashville for legislative business. Finally legislators receive a per diem payment of $174.00 for each day they are in session and in attendance. This portion of the per diem is only paid until the 90th legislative day is reached (a legislative day is a day the full body is in floor session). Per Diem is also received when legislators are in Nashville on legislative business when not in session. Below would be an example for a legislator who lives 100 miles from the capitol: Salary: $19,008 Office Allowance: $12,000 In session and 4 days a week (3 session/committee days one committee only days) from the 2nd Tuesday in January through the last week in May (20 weeks): $15,720 Out of session but average one trip to Nashville per week (32 weeks): $8,448 Total annual compensation for this example: $55,176 Legislators are responsible for their own expenses. Therefore travel expenses to and from Nashville and around their district is paid by the legislator. Food, meals and lodging are also paid out of pocket.

If not in session, the governor has 20 calender days to take action. If he does not meet this deadline, the bill becomes law. If it is vetoed, it is dead until the next session.
