Are there any legal repercussions employers face when they do not pay employees in a timely manner in Mississippi?

I work at a minimum wage/part-time job and we are suppose to get paid every two weeks (every other Friday). However, this week our checks did not arrive on the scheduled day (Friday) because of weather delays. The weather delays were issued by Fedex, not my employer. Is my employer liable for late fees I will incur from bills not being paid? Every other business I have worked for have checks scheduled to be delivered the day before pay day to avoid situations like this. Thank you for your response.
