How often is my employer required to pay me in Wisconsin?

Question

I heard it was at least twice a month but I cant find the statue or anything. Do you know for sure?

FYI: I was a full time salaried employee and worked there from Oct 23 to November 30 and they never paid me... Just keep saying next week next week next week. Finally I pressed the issue that I'd been there for 40 days and not got paid and they were hostile towards me and said "It's time for us to part ways".

Answer 1

Not enough info- are you a private contractor? or are you actually an employee? The difference being did you fill out a W4 form for income tax and do you have benefits? or did he hire you as an "at will" private contractor, which means you would get X amount of money for X amount of work and you would be paying your own taxes. If you are a true employee, you should be paid at least 2x a month-you can check online under Wisconsin state offices. If you are an independent contractor- it would be up to you and him as to when you would be paid-- most likely when your job is complete.

Wisconson legislation section 109.03(1)
(1) Required frequency of payments. Every employer shall as often as monthly pay to every employee engaged in the employer's business, except those employees engaged in logging operations and farm labor, all wages earned by the employee to a day not more than 31 days prior to the date of payment. Employees engaged in logging operations and farm labor shall be paid all earned wages no less often than at regular quarterly intervals. Any employee who is absent at the time fixed for payment or who for any other reason is not paid at that time shall be paid thereafter at any time upon 6 days' demand. The required frequency of wage payments provided in this subsection does not apply to any of the following:
