Employment Forms

Pay Requirements & Wage Deductions

Connecticut law provides that wages must be paid weekly and on a regular payday designated in advance by the employer.
The state Department of Labor may, upon application, permit employers to establish regular pay days less frequently than weekly, provided each employee is paid in full at least once in each calendar month on a regularly established schedule.
Under Connecticut law, no employer may withhold or divert any portion of an employee’s wages unless:

• The employer is required or empowered by state or federal law (i.e., income tax withholding); or
• The employer has written authorization from the employee for the deduction on a form approved by the Labor Commissioner; or
• The deductions are authorized by the employee, in writing, for medical, surgical or hospital care or service (i.e., health insurance premiums).

As a practical matter, this law prohibits employers from holding an employee’s final paycheck pending return of company property or from making deductions from the final paycheck unless such deductions fall within one of the categories listed above.
