170(b)(1)(A)(vi), at least twice each calendar month on regular

paydays designated in advance by the employer. State, county and

municipal employees, exempt employees, school district employees,

technology center school district employees and employees of

nonprivate foundations qualified pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 509(a)(1) and

26 U.S.C. 170(b)(1)(A)(vi) shall be paid a minimum of once each

calendar month. The amount due such employees shall be paid in

lawful money of the United States including payment by electronic

means, and the employee shall not be deemed to have waived any right

or rights mentioned in this section because of any contract to the

contrary. Each employer in this state, in its discretion, may pay

all wages due to an employee by deposit on the payday at a financial

institution of the employee's choice or, if the employee does not

consent or designate a financial institution, to a payroll card

account. With each payment of wages earned by such employee, the

employer shall issue to such employee a brief itemized statement of

any and all deductions therefrom. An interval of not more than

eleven (11) days may elapse between the end of the pay period worked

and the regular payday designated by the employer. The employer

shall be allowed three (3) days after such payday in which to comply

with this section.

No such employer shall issue, in payment of or as evidence of

indebtedness due an employee any check, cashier's check, draft, time

check, store order, scrip, or other acknowledgment of indebtedness

unless the same is payable or redeemable upon demand without

discount and for face value in lawful money of the United States.

If an employer pays an employee with a check which is subsequently

returned to the employee or an agent thereof by reason of the

refusal of the bank upon which such check was drawn to honor the

same due to insufficient funds or a stop payment notice, the

employer shall reimburse the employee for any fees or costs incurred

by the employee due to the refusal to honor the check within

fourteen (14) days of the employer's notice of the bank's refusal to

honor the check.
