I’ve worked for a small business (<10 people total) in California for about a year now and they’ve consistently paid their team late.
I’m a W2 employee and have documentation stating the dates I am to be paid, my pay period, and paystubs supporting our late paychecks. But, more often than not we would have to ask our boss when we’d get paid or else nothing would hit our direct deposit.
Before, when they were using Gusto as their payroll system, they would tell us it’s a technical error and we would get paid when we get paid. But, once they used that excuse a few times they decided to drop Gusto and just give us checks instead.
Cut to today and now we aren’t getting paid because of cash flow issues. How normal is this and what should I do?
