Q.How often must an employee be paid?
A.In California, wages, with some exceptions (see table below), must be paid at least twice per month on the days designated in advance by the employer as regular paydays. California Labor Code Section 207 requires the employer to establish a regular pay day and to post a notice that shows the day, time and location of payment.
Pursuant to California Labor Code Section 204, wages earned between the 1st and 15th of any calendar month must be paid on or before the 26th day of the month; wages earned between the 16th and last day of the month must be paid on or before the 10th day of the following month.
