| Payroll Regulations |
We take pride in handling your payroll efficiently and accurately. Often, questions arise about whether enrollment with a PEO changes the payroll regulations employers must abide by. To help you brush up on your payroll regulations I.Q., we’ve provided the following brief list which indicates some of the payroll regulations that apply to all private sector employers:
Terminating Employees
Wages of employees who are discharged or laid off are due “immediately” and must be paid within 24 hours.
Employee Resignation
When employees resign, the employer has until the next regular pay period to provide an employee with unpaid wages.
Regular Paydays
- Employers must establish a minimum of two pay periods per month.
- Employers are obligated to notify the employee about paydays and the rate of pay the employee will be receiving.
- On regular paydays, wages are to be paid within 10 days of the end of the pay period.
Other stipulations
The employer cannot require that an employee receive wages through electronic transfer. It is also illegal for the employer to mandate that wages be deposited to or cashed by a particular financial institution.
