How often do I have to pay my employees?
May 31, 2007
The Texas Payday Law ("Texas Payment of Wages Act") governs how and when employees of private employers get paid. Executives and professionals (like lawyers or doctors) must be paid at least once per month (i.e. monthly). All other employees must be paid at least twice per month. Each pay period should include about the same number of days. Therefore, most employers pay on a set schedule like biweekly, semimonthly or weekly.
