There is no federal law that governs the frequency of wage payments. Employers are cautioned that the chart on the following page contains only the major requirements for wage payments. Other requirements may apply. Specific types of employment and employment of minors may be subject to additional or different regulations. The fact that a particular type of employment is referenced does not mean that other types of employment are subject to different requirements. Employers should not rely solely upon this chart, but should familiarize themselves with the law of their state. Most states have wage and hour laws other than those addressing payment of wages.
Note: Some states have very short time periods in which all wages earned in the previous pay period must be paid. Employers that do not pay concurrently with the end of a pay period (i.e. wages for time earned January 1-14 is not paid on January 14 but later) need to ensure all wages and overtime are paid in the time period.
