Legal Question in Employment Law in California

I recently started a job in California. I get paid $12 an hour plus a 2% commission rate. My employer informed me that I would not get paid until the first of the month because I entered in the middle of a pay period. When I received my check, it was only for the 1st-15th and the rest of the employees were paid for the most recent pay period. When I asked him about it, he said they changed the way pay period are structured to prevent people from quitting at a drop of a hat. The other employees were paid for the most recent pay period because they were grandfathered in with the old system. I am the only full-time member on staff. Is this with holding payment?

The lack of dates of when you receive your pay make it difficult to figure out if something is wrong.

For information on when you are supposed to be paid, you can look at the following site from the State of California:

It provides a better summary of the law on this point better than I could.

Best of luck to you.
