Frequency and Method of Payment
Q. How often must an employee be paid?
A. Most employers are required to pay wages at least twice during each calendar month, on regular paydays designated in advance by the employer. However, for certain executive, supervisory or other special classes of workers, payment can be made once a month as long as there is a regularly established schedule.
Q. Can I have my pay check directly deposited into a bank account?
A. Yes. You paycheck can be directly deposited if your employer provides this option. You must personally be in agreement with this action although not all of the workers have to agree to direct deposit. Your employer must make arrangements with a financial institution. However, the option of direct deposit may not result in the employee incurring any additional fees as the immediate result of using direct deposit.
