Proverbs 3:28 “come again, tomorrow I will give it”
Proverbs 3:28 (ESV) Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give it”- when you have it with you.
This is not a direct statement on when pay should be rendered, but is consistent with the concept of paying the day it is earned. When an employer says that they will pay you your week’s wage the following week, he is essentially saying “Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give it.”
More often than not, the employer, especially in a larger organization, has the funds in hand for daily payroll. They “have it with [them]” and holding it back is a violation of this proverb.
