Paydays illegally delayed for Laney tutors and professors in years-long labor code violations
Section 204 OF THE CAL. LABOR CODE –
‘Wages earned between the 1st and 15th days, inclusive, of any calendar month must be paid no later than the 26th day of the month during which the labor was performed, and wages earned between the 16th and last day of the month must be paid by the 10th day of the following month.’
These consistent delays in the issuance of paychecks have caused unnecessary and avoidable problems for both professors and students workers who have had the experience of not getting paid on time.
(Many have experienced this problem, including employees who still currently work for the college. Thus, to protect the identities and jobs of our sources, we have used pseudonyms, unless otherwise noted.)
