Note: Section 103.93 (1) (b), Stats., generally requires every employer to 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. Section 103.915 (5), Stats., provides for an exception to this requirement.

(3) Partial payment under s. 103.93 (1) (b), Stats., is prohibited unless the employer is unable to determine the amount of piece rate wages owed a worker because of a lack of confirmation from a processor buyer.

Wage statements shall show the amount of gross and net wages paid by the employer to the worker, the number of hours worked, and the amount of and reason for each deduction from the wages of the worker. A reasonable coding system may be used by an employer.

(6) Authorizations for deductions or withholding from wages must be specific as to the amount and reason for the deduction. A general statement authorizing the employer to make deductions for future loans, services, loss, or damage to property shall be invalid.
