What this site is
Payday Ledger shows the payday frequencies each US state permits, from the US Department of Labor, and a pay-date calculator. It does not list employers' pay schedules. No company's pay schedule is stated anywhere on this site, because no source backs them.
What it isn't
Payday Ledger is not a payroll service, a wage-access service or a recruiting service. It does not offer tax, legal or financial advice, and it is not affiliated with any employer.
Source
State payday rules come from the US Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division; your state labor office is the authority.
The state frequency data and the 25 footnotes come from US Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division, State Payday Requirements (revised January 1, 2023), fetched 2026-10-02T03:38:25Z. You can read the source at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/state/payday.
The pay-date calculator uses the Federal Reserve bank-holiday calendar from date.nager.at, as of 2026-08-04.
