their posted payday? I found out by accident that my owner is planning on not giving us our paychecks on our next payday. There are 33 employes (half are salaried employees and half are hourly employees) We all currently get paid twice a month (on the 15th and last day of the month). I overheard the owner on the phone saying he is going to not pay any of the employees on the 31st as he is going to keep 2 weeks back from us all so that in the event one of us quits or gets fired and doesn't return company equipment or uniforms; they have a last check to hold until we return those items. The person on the other end must have asked him how the employees would make it financially or something like that as he then said; "if they needed the money he would advance them from their check on the 15th and then they wouldn't receive money on the 15th"! Can he do this? Is this legal? If it is legal; does he have to give us notice and how far in advance does he have to notify us? What can we do if this happens? Thanks for any advice!
