I live in New York State, and I am employed by a company which is headquartered in another state. I have read New York Labor Article 6 Section 191, and I'm fairly certain I fall into the "clerical and other worker" category. My employer offers 2 options for payment of wages - direct deposit (to a checking or savings account), or a live check (both are biweekly, by the way). Up until recently, live checks were made available for employees to pick up on payday at their respective place of work. I recently heard that there was a policy change with respect to live checks. Specifically, employer states that live checks will no longer be made available for pickup at my place of work. Instead, live checks will be mailed from the corporate office, directly to employees' home address on file. Employer states paychecks will "probably" arrive 5 calendar days (3 business days) after pay day (which is also 12 calendar days beyond the end of the pay period). Would these potential delays be consistent with "prompt" payments "on regular paydays" with respect to the FLSA? Could these potential delays constitute violations of NYS Labor laws? Another way of asking, I suppose, is if paychecks destined to NYS are postmarked by payday (considering also the nature of my employment, as I outlined above)...would said employer be meeting it's requirements? Thank you in advance.
