Can a job pay you late?

Call your local department of labor. most states are required to pay on the next regular pay day.

Remember

Law and Regulation Questions

Laws are different depending on where you live. When asking questions about law, you need to state the applicable city, county, state, and/or country. If a regulation you may need to give program name.

Please add to your question and not in a comment to my answer, so others will see it.

Generally, under S.C. Codified Laws § 41-10-50, an employer must issue a final paycheck to an employee who has been terminated, or who has quit his or her job, within forty-eight (48) hours or on the next regularly scheduled pay date that is not in excess of thirty (30) days from the date of termination.

The information on this page is meant to provide a general overview of the law. The laws in your state and/or city may deviate significantly from those described here. If you have specific questions related to your situation you should speak with a local attorney.

It's not really allowed, but if they are only a few days later, then just wait. Doing something will make it take longer.

If it becomes clear that they are not going to pay, then file a complaint with the government agency that handles unpaid wage complaints in your state.

Perfectly legal. They first have to process you IN to the system. Then they have to process you out.

Q. If I quit my job, or if I am terminated, does my employer have to pay me all wages due that day?

A. No. State law requires the employer to pay an employee all wages due him or her within 48 hours of the day of separation OR the next regularly-scheduled payday, not to exceed 30 days.

They have to pay you no matter how long you worked there. Period. It may take extra time since you were new, etc.

Call the Department of Labor and ask them to help you.

Yes, they are allowed to do it. Payroll has its red tape. Be patient.

There is no law that stops them. You are welcome to take them to small claims court.
