What would be the daily penalty if I was paid a salary of $*,* yearly and was paid twice a month. It’s been 30 days since I received a paycheck
To calculate the daily penalty, we need to determine your daily wage first. Here's how you can calculate it:
*. Annual Salary: $*,*
*. Pay Periods Per Year: * (twice a month)
*. Daily Wage: $*,* / 365 days = approximately $*.* per day.
Under Nevada law, an employer who fails to pay wages within the prescribed period is liable to pay the employee the unpaid wages plus an additional penalty. The penalty is equal to the employee's daily wage for each day the wages remain unpaid, up to 30 days.
Therefore, the daily penalty would be your daily wage of $*.* for each day your wages remain unpaid.
Have you contacted your employer in writing yet? If not, that's a good next step.
What should I write to my employer regarding this issue
Sure, here's a sample letter you can use to write to your employer regarding your unpaid wages:
---
[Your Name]
[Your Address]
[City, State, Zip Code]
[Email Address]
[Phone Number]
[Date]
[Employer's Name]
[Company Name]
[Company Address]
[City, State, Zip Code]
Dear [Employer's Name],
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally address the issue of my unpaid wages. As of today, I have not received my salary for the past 30 days. My salary is $*,* per year, paid twice a month.
According to Nevada law, employers are required to pay employees their earned wages within a specified period. It has now been 30 days since my last paycheck, and I have not received any payment for my work.
I kindly request that you address this matter promptly and ensure that I receive the unpaid wages along with any applicable penalties. Based on my daily wage of approximately $*.*, and considering the Nevada law, the penalty for each day my wages remain unpaid adds up to a significant amount.
I appreciate your immediate attention to this matter and look forward to a prompt resolution.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
