Hello,
Anyone have any info or a specific code for getting paid late / not on established pay days . I know Ca has section 203 for a penalty for payment of wages upon termination. I cannot find anything for an employed person who is not bieng paid on time .
Any thoughts?
Thank you

The following are all CA labor code sections.
204. All wages, other than those mentioned in Section 201, 202, 204.1, or 204. 2, earned by any person in any employment are due and payable twice during each calendar month, on days designated in advance by the employer as the regular paydays.
207. Every employer shall keep posted conspicuously at the place of work, if practicable, or otherwise where it can be seen as employees come or go to their places of work, or at the office or nearest agency for payment kept by the employer, a notice specifying the regular pay days and the time and place of payment, in accordance with this article.
210. In addition to, and entirely independent and apart from, any other penalty provided in this article, every person who fails to pay the wages of each employee as provided in Sections 204, 204b, 204.1, 204.2, 205, 205.5, and 1197.5, shall be subject to a civil penalty as follows:
(a) For any initial violation, fifty dollars ($50) for each failure to pay each employee.
(b) For each subsequent violation, or any willful or intentional violation, one hundred dollars ($100) for each failure to pay each employee, plus 25 percent of the amount unlawfully withheld.
The penalty shall be recovered by the Labor Commissioner as part of a hearing held to recover unpaid wages and penalties pursuant to this chapter or in an independent civil action. The action shall be brought in the name of the people of the State of California and the Labor Commissioner and the attorneys thereof may proceed and act for and on behalf of the people in bringing these actions. All money recovered therein shall be paid into the State Treasury to the credit of the General Fund.

From the website I mentioned before-
9. What if I am not paid on time or my check bounces after I quit or
have been fired?
If you are fired, your employer is required to pay you all of your wages immediately, including
any accrued vacation time and overtime pay. If you quit, you are entitled to all wages within 72
hours of giving notice (or on your last day if you give more than 72 hours notice). If you are not
paid on time, your employer may have to pay your wages plus a penalty. (For more
information on receiving your final pay and any associated penalties, see our Fact Sheet titled
“Getting your Final Paycheck.”) [/COLOR]
Why do you keep responding to old threads with information that has already been provided? Oh, I know, you're trying to push your website. :mad:

Sometimes knowledge is gleaned from older posts, or sometimes case law has impacted old posts and they need to be refreshed.
Not in this case. In this case a spammer was trying to push his website by posting it on multiple threads.

I was a little confused about this thread until I read yours, cbg. There were things posted that were removed before I opened it. Thanks!
