My friend has been working for over a month and he hasn't been paid yet. Apparently a manager forgot to include him in the payroll, so no the human resosurces want him to wait over the holidays so they can start his process apeal.
Is there any laws that protect him, or can he call anyone else?

That is not right. He should get the number to corporate or something. That is not there fault that they did that. Something like that happened tome before and I'm the kind of person that just wont stop nagging to them until i get what i want. so They paid me in cash because I constantly kept asking them so there should be a number that they can give you.

Labor laws protect the employee. If the company forgot to put him the payroll system, they can write him a check from some other account. If he is not the only person that did not get paid, they are in real trouble with the state and federal. There are payroll tax laws, depending on the gross dollars for the company's payroll. We had to pay our taxes within twenty four hours. If someone did not get paid, we would write them a check from petty cash. The accounting person would have to debit and credit the accounts to reverse the entry. The next payroll we had to pay a penalty on the miscellanies amount for the missing check.
PAYROLL TAXES ARE A SERIOUS ISSUE, HE NEEDS TO CONTACT THE DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT AND THE LABOR BOARD. NO EXCUSE NOT TO PAY SOMEONE.
My brother-in-law worked for a company that always blamed the bank for not transferring the money into their payroll account?? The true was payroll checks were bouncing because the company was going under. Fifty people worked there, and the bank would not cash their payroll checks. The employees had to contact the police, this is consider as fraud.

It happened to me when i first started my job. It took me 5 weeks to get paid. Just make sure he keeps a log of his hours worked, and if they still take no action a law suit is a must.

Tell him to call the Department of Labor.
