If payday lands on a weekend or holiday is it legal for your employer to pay you the following business day?

The laws vary by State, but in most jurisdictions the law is that if a regularly scheduled payday falls on a holiday or weekend, pay must be paid on the next business day.
There may be States that say pay the day before, but I don't know of any. CA and MA are the most employee friendly States in the country, and they both say "next business day".

Yes, it's legal. It's probably written in the fine print somewhere in the employee handbook. I used to work at a place where if there was a holiday at all that entire week (not even necessarily on payday) then checks got issued a day late.

More so than not paying them at all. I had an employer once approach us to tell us that payday was going to be delayed. He went out of business, but we did get paid eventually.

I was once told that an employer couldn't leave it more than 5 weeks before paydays. Not sure how that helps but there you go.

You can contact the Labor Department or Wage and Hour in the state of Texas. They will be able to tell you if this is legal. However, this is a bad sign. She needs to find a new job immediately.

Not really but you will have your pay before your complaint is heard and will drive a wedge between you and the boss.

Company policy not employment law.

There is no law that says they have to pay you at all. If you can not tolerate their practices, you are free to go at any time.

Yes it is. There are no laws governing this.
