Stuart Bishop (HB 689) Act No. 417
Existing law requires that every employer inform his employees at the time of hire what
wages they will be paid, as well as the method and frequency of payment.
Prior law required that every person engaged in manufacturing make full payment to
employees as often as every two weeks.
New law changes the time period for payment in prior law from as often as every two weeks
to no less than twice during a calendar month.
Existing law provides that paydays shall be as close to two weeks apart as practicable.
Prior law required that payment be made no more than 10 days after the service was
performed, except for public service corporations, which were allowed up to 15 days.
New law deletes prior law and provides that payment shall be made no later than the payday
at the conclusion of the next payroll period.
Effective Aug. 1, 2014.
