Sure, the headline is click-bait. Designed to get your attention.

But it’s actually true.  Connecticut law requires employers in Connecticut to pay their employees on a weekly basis.  Conn. Gen. Stat. Sec. 31-71b states it in sorta plain English.

[E]ach employer … shall pay weekly all moneys due each employee on a regular pay

As I catch up from being at the ABA Annual Meeting, my colleague, Mick Lavelle, prepared this terrific little post about some long-standing labor statutes that employers should not ignore.

The Connecticut Department of Labor enforces statutes which were first enacted in the days when payroll records were paper documents, to be stored in filing cabinets.
