Paydays, pay periods, and the final wages<\/strong><\/p>\n

California employees are entitled to certain expectations when it comes to getting paid. There are exceptions to most any rule of course, which you can find in the chart that follows, but otherwise the information here regards the pay guidelines for all California workers.<\/p>\n

1. California employees are required to be paid at least two times in every month. The employer must have predetermined pay days that the employee can count on being paid all wages owed. In addition, the company must post in writing how, when and where payment will be remitted.<\/p>\n

2. All wages earned from the 1st<\/sup> day to the 15th<\/sup> day of the months must be paid to the employee by the 26th<\/sup> day of that month; likewise pay earned from the 16th<\/sup> day to the end of the month must be received by the employee by the 1oth of the following month. If your pay period is other than above, such as bi-monthly or every two weeks, you must be paid no later than 7 days after the end of that pay period. If your employer fails to comply with this timeline they may be liable for penalties and interest.<\/p>\n

3. All overtime pay earned must also be paid in the following pay period, and all overtime pay must comply with the labor code.<\/p>\n

4. If you are fired or let go your company must pay all the money they owe you within 24 hours of leaving the company. This includes wages, commissions and accrued vacation time.<\/p>\n

5. Anyone laid off on a seasonal job must likewise be paid within 72 hours of the layoff date.<\/p>\n

Some of the exceptions to these rules are as follows.<\/p>\n

Executive<\/a>, administrative<\/a> and professional<\/a> employees<\/td>\nThese employees fall under overtime exemptions and may be paid monthly or on a bi-weekly schedule provided they are paid on or before the 26th<\/sup> day of the following month.<\/td>\n204<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
farm labor contractor employees<\/strong><\/td>\nSuch employees are to be paid on a posted predetermined day of EACH week on a business day and include all wages up to the given day.<\/td>\n205<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Employees in agriculture, horticulture<\/strong> and viticulture, stock or poultry raising, and household domestic service<\/strong>, receiving board and lodging from their employer<\/td>\nSuch employees may be paid once a month, provided no two paydays are more than 31 days apart and the day must be predetermined in writing.<\/td>\n205<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Employees of a motor vehicle dealer<\/strong> licensed by the Department of Motor Vehicles who are paid commission wages<\/strong> (mechanics and other employees performing repair or related services are not considered commissioned employees.)<\/td>\nUnless employees are covered by a collect bargaining agreement, they must be paid once in each month and on a predetermined regular day posted by the employer.<\/td>\n204.1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
