What are the Oregon laws on not getting paid on time?
My PTO didn't go through on my last paycheck (I get paid every two weeks), so I talked to my employer about it and they said they were going to get to the bottom of it. Two weeks later (and late on rent) I still have not seen this money. Legally, is this ok for my employer not to process my PTO that has been approved? And if not, what should I do now?
I should have been more clear: I took four days off and requested 20 hours PTO. It was accepted by my employer, but it has not shown up on my last two paychecks. My boss is trying to get in touch with HR/Payroll to see why it has not been processed.
All I want is my money. At the company I work for, the employees earn PTO based on how many hours they work each year. Last year, I earned 73.25 hours of PTO. It shows up on all of my pay stubs that I have these hours, and since I requested PTO six weeks ago, the PTO balance on my pay stubs have not decreased.
My big question is: are there any laws in Oregon (or any other state) that can allow my requested AND approved PTO money to be denied to me AFTER the fact? And if not, are there any legal steps I can take?

Generally, employees in Oregon receive no less than the minimum wage of $8.80 per hour (beginning Jan. 1, 2012). Employees of the federal government receive no less than $7.25 per hour (as of July 24, 2009). Also, employers generally must pay for overtime at a rate of one and one-half times your regular rate of pay. If you work more than 40 hours in a week, those extra hours worked are overtime. For example, if your regular rate of pay is $8 per hour, your overtime pay is $12 per hour for each hour more than 40 you work in one week. Nothing in the law allows private employers to give employees comp time, that is, paid time off, instead of paying for overtime.

f you don't think you've been paid all of your agreed wages or minimum wages, or for overtime or fringe benefits, you can file a claim with the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries. That agency has offices in Bend, Coos Bay, Eugene, Medford, Pendleton, Portland and Salem. If you were employed by a public employer, it may also be necessary for you to file a notice of claim with your employer as well. A claim for wages also may be brought by a private attorney on your behalf, and if successful the court may order your attorneys fees to be paid in part or in full by the employer.
