When is payday?

Compensation
Employee Payroll Action Form
W-4 Employee Withholding Allowance Cert.
Employee Payroll Status/Change Form
Direct Deposit Form
Total Compensation Summary

Our company has a pay period from the 1st to 15th. For those dates we pay on the 25th…10 days later. Is that a normal or legal time frame??

The answer will depend upon which state your workers are in. This would be legal in some states and illegal in others. And, it may be different for salaried and hourly employees. Many states require that employees or hourly employees be paid at least twice per month. Your company is in compliance there. A few states also limit the maximum time between the end of the pay period and payday, to a week or even three days. Your company would not be in compliance, if you were in one of those states. As far as \”Is this normal?\” It is\’s not unusual for employers to pay either every two weeks or bi-monthly. This is a longer than usual interval before the paychecks are issued, but as long as the employer regularly meets the designated pay date, it should not be a problem.

Please post another question mentioning your state for a more specific answer.
