Best Answer

One needs to elaborate on the situation. Employers are required to pay employees for all time worked.

Pay and rewards can take on many forms including;

Base pay

Commissions

Bonus

etc.

This adds a level of complexity to the situation.

If you believe you have not been paid, it is advisable to see Human Resources for resolution.

This is an issue that should be brought up with the Labor Commissioner in your state.

Better answer: YEs, that is illegal. EMPLOYEES must be paid for every hour worked, at least the fed min wage. No exceptions.
