[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously? Back in ancient times when people's paychecks were mailed or distributed at work, you got it when you were there to get it. Your employer wrote the check on the same day each pay period, and it was on you to pick it up.

Writing predated checks is a major courtesy, not some requirement of labor law.[/quote]

WRONG! Not sure where OP is located, but at least in MD, it IS labor law that paydates occur at regular intervals, and if the normal pay date falls on a nonworking day, payment should occur on the preceding work day.

Please stop spreading misinformation.  [/quote]

I'm the OP who said I won't advance pay for convenience. Payday falls every Friday at my house. The check will be there on the counter. Nanny is welcome to come get it.

You are misreading the law (badly) if you think it means that paybacks must be issued in advance of an employee's vacation. Snort. [/quote]

What the f*ck is wrong with you? If you showed me such derision about paying me while I was on vacation, as though doing so is some kind of favor to me, we'd be done. No one is saying to advance pay. They're saying you need to find a way to ensure that your nanny received her pay on her pay day. In the modern age that's done by direct deposit. If you're too cheap to do it that way, it's on you to find another way. If you act like you don't give a shit if your nanny gets the money you owe her, you won't keep her very long. [/quote]

No, I don't need to make sure my nanny RECEIVES her pay on pay day, only that it is AVAILABLE to her. If nanny wants me to put it in the mail on pay day, no problem. I am not obligated to set up direct deposit to accomodate vacation preferences. You are confusing a convenience with a right.

Working in a large company, my employer did not pre-pay us based on our vacation schedules or hand us post-dated checks. Paper checks were delivered on pay date. If you weren't in the office, you could pick it up in the finance office over the next two weeks. If not picked up, then it was mailed. These pay checks were never "late" - the funds were available but I had responsibility for being available to pick up the check. [/quote]
