Leviticus 19:13 "The wages of a hired worker shall not be left with you overnight until the morning"

Manny's father works in a firm and gets a monthly salary.

Ricky's mother is a teacher and receives her check every two weeks.

Bassi's father is a self-employed painter and charges by the hour.

No one would think of paying him a month later for his day's work.

The Torah cautions us not to delay payment that is owed to a hired worker.

If he worked during the day, we must pay him by the next morning. If he is employed on a night job, he must be paid by the end of the next day.
