Welcome l had an employer who was always giving partial pay. It took a few days to get all my hard earned pay. God Bless.

This has been happening to me where usually he pays me every friday like we agreed but once a month he forgets payroll and I get my paycheck a week later than I was expecting. This time my car note auto drafted so now I have an overdraft fee and tomorrow ill get an extended overdraft fee. All the department of labor has to do is make your employer have to pay you more for being late and I gaurentee you everyone would magically start getting paid on time. The irony is my employer told me I can be fired for being a few minutes late, meanwhile he has no issue paying me late. Personally I believe every day you are paid late your employer should have to pay time and a half for the days they are late.

You might want to think about it before doing this because your employer can fire you for doing this. Is losing your current job worth a couple weeks late? This is a question only you can answer.
