My employer has a time-card deadline. If I do not have my time card in by that exact time, my pay for the pay period is not given to me until the end of the next pay period. Since I get paid every 14 days, and since we normally get paid 6 days after the end of the pay period, this means that, if I am late for a pay period, I would not be getting my pay until 20 days after the end of the following pay period. Can my employer do this?

Your employer is required to provide your pay for a pay period no later than 10 days after the end of the pay period. Any longer than 10 days and your employer has broken your employment contract.
