Interestingly enough, the Fair Labor Standards Act states that “late pay is the same as no pay.” Further, the penalties associated with late payment is called “liquidated damages” and is equal to the amount of take home pay you were originally to get. Even if you’re paid the following day, by the FLSA law, you’re entitled to the liquidated damages penalty.
However, having said that, don’t get your sarong’s all in a ruffle, because, our great “overlords” saw to it to carve out public school teachers from the FLSA due to antiquated and archaic past laws. And speaking of antiquated things, the CB article is more or less blaming the issue on the forms required. Maybe the DOE could “layoff” 3 or 4 “managers” and with the salaries saved, hire eight or ten HR professional staff members who are quite adept at employment forms and payroll systems management.
Go figure!
