Florida does not require an employer to pay an employer more often than monthly. My pay periods are bi-weekly. However, I don't think a business has to disrupt its normal payroll business process to accommodate an employee who won't follow the rules. Waiting two more weeks is usually preferable to termination for most employees. Employers in states that require pay checks to be issued within a maximum amount of time after the work is performed would still allow for some delay, even if not for a full pay period. An employee simply can't turn in a time sheet the day before payday and expect special disruptive processing to get their pay check when everyone who complied with the company's rules get their checks.
