103.93 Wages.
(1) Wage payment.
(a) Every employer shall pay all wages earned by any migrant worker directly to such worker on regular pay days designated in advance by the employer, but in no case less often than semimonthly. Wages shall be paid in U.S. currency or by check or draft.
(b) Every employer shall pay in full all wages due any migrant worker within 3 days after the termination of the period of employment for which the worker was employed except as provided under s. 103.915 (5). If the employer is unable to determine, due to circumstances beyond the employer's control, the amount of wages, figured upon a basis or system other than time rate, due to a worker under this paragraph, the employer shall pay the worker the amount of guaranteed wages due under s. 103.915 (4) (b) within the time required under this paragraph and shall pay any additional wages due within a reasonable time after such wages are determined.
(2) Wage statement. Every employer shall furnish to each migrant worker at the time of payment of wages a written statement showing the amount of gross and net wages paid by the employer to the worker, and each amount deducted or withheld for whatever purpose.
(3) Deductions. No employer or migrant labor contractor may deduct or withhold from the wages of any migrant worker any amount on account of debts accrued or anticipated unless the worker has previously authorized such deduction or withholding in writing. Nothing in this subsection shall prohibit any employer of a migrant worker from deducting or withholding from any wages paid, such amounts as may be required by law or on account of any court order.
(4) Overtime. Any migrant worker not employed exclusively in agricultural labor as defined in s. 108.02 (2) shall be paid not less than one and one-half times the worker's regular rate for any hours worked on Sunday unless the worker is allowed another day of rest in that calendar week.
