Can I change my employees pay period – and payday – from weekly to bi-weekly (once every two weeks)?
Sure, so long as the change is made for a legitimate business purpose, does not result in an unreasonable long delay in payment, is intended to be permanent, and does not violate the minimum age and overtime provisions of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (wage/hour law). Trouble can occur if a change is made with the intent to avoid the requirements of federal law or for the purpose of fraud.
