Paydays in Texas: Part I of II

All workers have rights protected by the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on age, gender, race, religion, or nation of origin. However, many employees sadly lack detailed information about the rights they have beyond these. It is important to stay aware of the laws pertaining to your rights as a worker, because ignorance can lead to exploitation. One area which is frequently overlooked concerns the laws regulating pay periods.

If you believe your employer is exploiting your labor, or failing to abide by payday requirements, contact the San Antonio employment lawyers of Melton & Kumler, LLP to discuss the details of your case. Call us today at 800-681-6932 to schedule a free case evaluation.

Payday Regulations

There are laws governing the distribution of all earnings. For example, salary workers who are not eligible for overtime must receive their pay each month. However, for all other workers, the following rules must be followed:

• Employers must notify workers of paydays upon hiring.

• Bimonthly paydays must be divided as equally as possible.

• If an employee is not paid at the appropriate time, employers must furnish payment on the following business day.

The first step in protecting your rights is to know what they are. If you have any questions about the legality of your employer’s practices, you need to discuss the matter with a San Antonio employment attorney.
