\"Chairs<\/p>\n

Both employer and employees should be aware of waiting time penalty in California. The law is strict on employers; all employers are supposed to pay their workers in time failure to which they can experience a penalty. If an employer will miss a deadline, the employee is entitled to an extra day pay till 30 days.<\/p>\n

California’s Final Paycheck Law basics<\/strong><\/p>\n

The state of California has strictest laws on final paycheck. If an employee is fired, he is entitled to his final pay immediately after the determination of his duties. If an employee quits without notice, the employer has up to 72 hours to pay for the final paycheck. Failure to pay the employee upon determination of his work due to quitting can attract a penalty. An employee who quits with a notice is supposed to be paid immediately. The state of California also protects the employee by requesting the employee to pay accrued and unused vacation and the PTO to the employee final pay check.<\/p>\n

Waiting Time Penalties<\/strong><\/p>\n

An employee has the right to be paid upon completion of his work. If an employee waits and the employer fail to pay him is paycheck, the law requires the employee to access extra pay on the days he will have to wait. For example, if the employee receives a regular pay of a certain amount, then the late payment check will be based on the average wage of the employee for the day the employer will be late to pay the final check. There are several rules which apply to late payment penalties. Some of the rules which apply include the following:<\/p>\n

If an employee works 8 hours a day, he or she will have to earn about 12 in a day. Each late payment will be equal to the $120 an employee earns. The employer will have to pay an equal amount to the amount he pays the employee on his daily schedule.<\/p>\n

If an employee works in a part time basis, then he will have to earn the same amount during his wait time. If, for example, an employee earns $80 per day on his part time work, he will have to be paid the exact amount if he is subject to waiting upon completion of his job.<\/p>\n

Overtime is included in the waiting paycheck if it is regularly included in the paycheck of individuals who is subject to waiting wages. Even if the employer pays you your final paycheck, you may be entitled to waiting paycheck if you have not been compensated fully.<\/p>\n
