What are the payday requirements when an employer is closed?
HRCalifornia
If the employer is closed on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, which happens to be the designated payday, the employer may pay wages on the next regular workday.
The Government Code designates holidays such as January 1, the third Monday in January, the third Monday in February, the last Monday in May, July 4, the first Monday in September, the second Monday in October, November 11, Thanksgiving, the day after Thanksgiving and December 25.
Based on these statutes, employers may pay wages due on a weekend or holiday on the next business day.
