[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

Already discussed above that PP is misinterpreting the legal info. [/quote]

I'm the PP that posted it, and I disagree that I'm misinterpreting it. If your employee has established pay days, and a pay day falls on a non working day, you pay on the last working day before the pay day. For example, my husband gets paid on the 1st and the 15th. If the 15th is a holiday, Saturday or Sunday, he gets paid early.

But how you choose to interpret the law doesn't really matter. If you don't care to help her nanny get her money for 2 pay periods, that creates a hardship for her. It sends a clear message that you are a do the minimum kind of employer. Do the minimum employers don't keep above and beyond employees. [/quote]

If your husband's pay day is the 15th, and he chooses to leave on vacation on the 12th, does your husband's employer issue his paycheck on the 11th? That's what you're claiming is required here. It's not.

Carry on with your opinions re: moral high ground, but quit trying to push a wholly erroneous interpretation of law. [/quote]

His company doesn't operate in the stone age. If he was on vacation, it'd be deposited the same as usual.

Even as a nanny, it's been many years since I had someone writing me physical checks every two weeks. If you choose to operate in a way that is no longer the norm, and you create difficulty for your employee, why would they stay? That's seems like a pretty simple concept to me. [/quote]
