Question

My boss failed to set up my payroll account when hired at my job. He then proceeded to tell me to e-mail him my payroll hours. Because my account was never set up my paycheck was never sent to me. It went on like this for weeks. I do finally have the check but am still waiting on the last check which is a week late now. Is this legal?

Answer

The wage act in Massachusetts mandates that the monies for service be paid either weekly or biweekly.

If you are being violated as to the wage act the AG should be notified
