<prompt> Human: Hello, I hope Im at the right subreddit expressing this concern. My friend told me that her employer informed her that she wont receive her first paycheck till after 75 days. Is that even legal? Shes a contractor working for a pharmaceutical company based in California. She was hired through an agency. Any advise is welcomed, thank you! Edit: Word  <response>: When I was freelancing software my paychecks were up to 60 days delayed. So its not completely unbelievable and if the company has a good reputation I wouldnt question it as a contractor. As an employee Id question it.
