Labor Code §204 generally governs how frequently wages must be paid. Which statement best reflects the timing rule for most employees?

Explanation

Labor Code §204(a) requires wages to be paid at least twice during each calendar month on days designated in advance as regular paydays: work in the first half of the month is due by the 26th of that month, work in the second half by the 10th of the following month. (c) is the monthly-payroll belief, which §204 allows only for exempt executive, administrative and professional employees paid once a month by the 26th. (b) treats payday as discretionary; designating it in advance is the point of the section. (d) is the construction-specific error of tying wages to the owner's acceptance or to the contractor getting paid - earned wages run on the payroll calendar regardless of whether the job has funded.
