Employee Law State

Pay Rate Notice Requirements. Many states require employers to provide written notice to employees of their regular rate of pay and overtime rate, if applicable, at time of hire and when the rate of pay changes.

Under California employment law, all employers have a legal obligation to pay employees the wages they have earned and to pay these wages on time.For example, as to regular pay, employees are charged with a $100 penalty if they fail to pay an employee on his/her regular payday.

The following states require advance notice of pay reductions, but do not specify the amount of advance notice required or provide for any particular form of notice: Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, New Jersey, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oregon,

As of 1 July 2020 the national minimum wage is $19.84 per hour or $753.80 per week. Employees covered by an award or registered agreement are entitled to the minimum pay rates, including penalty rates and allowances in their award or agreement. These pay rates may be higher than the National Minimum Wage.

The general standard notice period is two weeks, though many contracts require four weeks' notice. Whether you want to avoid awkwardness or haven't had the greatest experience with your employer, leaving suddenly and abruptly isn't just unprofessional, it may also be illegal.

: the amount of money workers are paid per hour, week, etc.

Employers may pay employees more than one rate of pay.Similarly, an employee might be paid a flat rate rather than an hourly rate if the employee is called in for an emergency. As long as the alternative rate provides at least minimum wage for all hours worked, employers may establish different rates of pay.

A pay cut cannot be enacted without the employee being notified. If an employer cuts an employee's pay without telling him, it is considered a breach of contract. Pay cuts are legal as long as they are not done discriminatorily (i.e., based on the employee's race, gender, religion, and/or age).

: a regular day on which wages are paid.
