Can my boss make me wait for my paycheck ?

Last Friday was payday. I was out b/c I was with my dad in the ER hoping his chest pains weren't from a heart attack. Dad is OK...no heart attack. ...but my concern now is my paycheck.

There is no HR or payroll. The checks are printed from quickbooks by the owner. He gives the checks to his wife (boss) to pass out. ...so my check is already printed.

Can my boss make me wait until next payday for my check...2 weeks away?

Update:

My boss isn't in yet so I don't know if she will tell me to wait. ...but she has made others wait in the past.

    Call the non emergency number for the police and ask an officer to be sure of the rules in your state....But im pretty sure its not a crime, its civil. If they make you wait or if they refuse to give you your check you have to take them to civil court.

    File a formal complaint with your state department of labor.
