I did not fill out a time card, now my employer will not pay me until the following week, is this legal?

Yes it is. There are many places who won't pay without a time card or sheet or some kind of documentation showing how many hours you actually worked.

Check with a lawyer for Colorado-specific laws, but no, it should not be legal. Your paycheck is money you earned for things you ALREADY did, since it's issued after every two weeks (or however long, point being, its after the hours you worked). Therefore, they have no right to not pay you for what you already did.

Only one late payment shows up

It has been done on 12th this month as 13 and 14 were holidays so make the payment on 15th they would have debited on 12 so that it get cleared properly on 15th. Though bank can not debited without your authority but when you signed the contract at that time you may not have read fine prints.

In the USA you are employed at will. In the UK you have rights against the employer after a year of employment. As you didn't use either $ or pound sign we don't know where you are.\n\nIf you were underpaid, you should contact the authorities and complain, and let them recover your unpaid salary.

Ask your employer.  \n\nSome companies pay their employees based on each 1/10 of the hour (or each 6 minute interval) they work.  So if you punch in at 8:57am, or 8:59am, you are still only paid as if you punched in at 9:00am.  If you punch in at 9:01am, you would be marked as 1/10th of an hour late even though you punched in only one minute late, and you would be paid the same as if you punched in at 9:06am.\n\nI worked at a company that automatically took out a 30 minute lunch break after 6 hours whether the employee punched out of not.  The result was if I worked between 6 hours and 6.5 hours, I only got paid for 6 (whether I took a lunch or not).  If I worked 7 hours straight without a lunch break, I only got paid for 6.5.

It depends on your state, check with your labor board office in your state.  In California they usuually give fired employees their check on the date of termination, employees who quit are supposed to get it within 72 hours.  If they don't the employee can file a complaint with the labor board and get a days pay for every day late the check is, so if you don't get paid for a week after getting fired, they'd also owe you a few days as penalty but will probably only pay you if the labor board makes them.

If you can prove you worked the hours that would vary state to state on what your recourse is.  They legally have to pay you at least a training wage for hours worked, but again, you'd have to prove you worked the hours.  Is there a time swipe system that you could contact the company for just a record of time worked?  And go get a photo id that is not expired to further the processing.  Possibly the headquarters is just telling you your paycheck is stalled until all paperwork is processed.  Hope this helps...

Send a polite email saying it wasn't clear that you had to pay.\n\nAssuming you haven't used it then they may be ok with you.

That may be unique to California (their kinda weird out there compared to the rest of the country any how) Federal wage and hour laws require (in most cases) that time and one half be payed for any more than 8 hours in any one day and over 40 hours in any week. Their are no requirements for an employer to pay double time, triple time etc. unless it is a part of some kind of contract (union or other wise) so you will have to check with your state's wage and hour board.

Does your company calculate and print the paychecks themselves, or do they send the work out to a company like ADP to print up paychecks?\n\nIf your boss sends out the payroll work, that could account a delay happening the week AFTER the holiday...since the payroll company is doing the same amount of work in a shorter amount of time.  But in your case, the calculations and printing would have happened long before the holiday.\n\nWhen are the paychecks physically in the building?  If you have to wait for them to be sent in from an outside company, it might be out of your boss's hands.\n\nIf he actually has them in his hands before the holiday, he's probably just being a prick.  Check your company's policy about that.  Most medium-to-large companies have written guidelines on how holidays affect pay schedules.\n\nIf the company handbook is on your side, and your boss has the actual checks in plenty of time, take your concerns politely and calmly to the HR department, and if that doesn't work call your local labor board.  Just because he's a boss, doesn't mean he has the right to play God with your pay.

You seem to be looking for something to be discriminated against.  If you miss your payments whether white, black, purple or green, they have the right to discontinue their services to you.\n\nSounds as though they gave you at least a couple of breaks and YOU chose to not do what is right and that is pay your bills on time.\n\nAnd yes I have the right to say this as I am Native American and damn proud of it and I don't feel discriminated because I pay my bills on time if not early !!

At my last job I was the Comptroller and handled payroll as well. We had several disputes over wages (that occured before I took the position) and the DOL (US Dept. Of Labor) was involved. Trust me when I say that they are very thurough and will be on your side the whole way through. I posted a link below that will take you to the DOL webpage that will allow you to file a formal complaint. Also search for your state's Dept. Of Labor and file a complaint there also if they allow you to. There is no excuse for an employer to hold your hard-earned money from you. Best of luck to you!\n\n\n\nFairPay — Filing a Complaint for Back Wages Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)\n\nWho Can File a Complaint? \n\nAny non-exempt employee covered by the FLSA who believes that he or she has not been paid the required federal minimum wage (currently $5.15 per hour) or overtime (1½ times the regular rate of pay for hours worked in excess of 40 in a work week) may file a complaint with the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) of the U.S. Department of Labor. \nWhere Can a Complaint be Filed? \n\nA complaint may be filed by mail or in person at any WHD District Office. \nWhen Should a Complaint be Filed? \n\nThe FLSA contains a two-year statute of limitations (three-years for willful violations). This means that any part of a back wage claim which was earned more than two years before a federal court lawsuit is filed may not be collectible. \nAccordingly, to ensure WHD can complete its investigation before the statute of limitation expires, employees should file complaints with WHD as soon as the violation occurs but no later than 18 months after the violation occurred. \nWhat Information Must Be Included in a Complaint? \n\nThe employee's name, address, and telephone number (with the best time of the day to be reached); \nEmployee's job title and a description of the kind of work done; \nRate, method and frequency of wage payment — for example: paid weekly at $7.00 per hour or paid a salary of $900.00 twice each month ; \nNumber of hours actually worked each week; \nA description of the alleged violation(s) — for example: my employer failed to pay overtime for extra shifts or failed to pay for time spent loading the truck ; \nDate(s) of the alleged violation(s); and \nThe employer's name, address, telephone number and nature of business (for example : school, farm, restaurant , etc.). \nWhat Happens When a Complaint is Filed? \n\nWHD staff will review the complaint to determine if the complainant: (1) was/is a non-exempt employee performing work covered by the FLSA, and (2) may have been paid/not paid in violation of FLSA requirements. \nWHD staff will contact the complainant if the information provided is insufficient to make these determinations or if permission to use the complainant's name during an investigation is required to pursue the investigation. \nIf the review provides a reasonable belief that a potential violation of the FLSA has occurred, which the WHD can rectify, an investigation of the employer will be scheduled. \nIf the WHD is unable to conduct an investigation or secure back wages as a result of an investigation, the employee retains the right to bring a private lawsuit in federal court to recover back wages. \nHow Can I Learn More About Federal Wage Requirements? \n\nFor additional information, visit the WHD Web site: and/or call the WHD toll-free information and helpline, available 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in your time zone, 1-866-4USWAGE (1-866-487-9243) .

As long as you talk to your boss beforehand, it's not a big deal since you have a decent excuse.  Your paycheck on that last day won't be affected because usually paychecks are for the previous 2 weeks.  Your final paycheck will be missing that last day since you didn't show up unless you can argue that it was a vacation day or whatever.\n\nIf you just leave, you might not get a good reference from your former company.   You might also want to rearrange your exit interview for your final day that you will be there so that you leave on relatively good terms.

Take him to small claims court.  Be prepared to talk in detail about when he agreed to pay you, and how much he agreed to pay you.  You mentioned he paid when he could.... if you have any paycheck stubs left, bring those to court, it will show that he did in fact pay you for your time (and that you expected to be paid).  And, bring that calendar, he'll have a hard time denying that you work on the dates indicated in the calendar.\n\nGood luck!

It probably means that you have a weekly pay period and the period begins on a Sunday and ends on a Saturday.  If you complete your time card on Saturday (make sure all of your working hours are accounted for on your time card), you'll get paid correctly on your next payday -- probably sometime the following week.

document document document!! everything and go to your cities labour board. ( in Canada) They will start a claim on your behalf and investigate and should you need a lawyer they can provide one for you as well (not sure if its free or a nominal fee) but talk to them first they really are there to help employees. also get all your pay stubs in order and your record of employment they will need to see them and any witnesses you might have. If they decide in your favour they will come after your employer for unpaid wages, holiday pay severance pay etc. they can garnish the accounts for you once you get the labour board involved im sure you employer will come to their senses and pay up.
